OK, I have searched and found conflicting information. I have a .1 RS and would like to convert from PCCB to steel rotors. Anyone out there done this yet? What are the options? Any feedback? Or should I just keep the ceramics and change the stock pads at 50%

Anyone with actual experience, I would love some feedback. Thanks.

PFC or AP rotors for the front. For AP rotors, contact JWE (Jerry Woods Enterprises) or TRG. For rear, just use .2RS stock rotors, with cooling ducts.

I run this exact setup, and love it.

There is plenty of info on this swap. If you track a lot then you will want to convert. If you don't or only on occasion, then keep the PCCBs.

P.J.S.

The above mentioned options and additionally brembo and giro disc make replacements

I have the brembo type III on all 4 corners

Edit: they look like this

Does you hand brake work with the rear 2 piece?

Giro disc does not have front rotors ready. According to them, they need a car to test on. For the Brembo, can you just chage rotors? If so does anyone have part numbers? Thanks.

P.J.S.

Hand brake works

Just change rotors
Note that kit cost includes a set of pads
I don't have part numbers but any reputable vendor can provide them
I bought mine at Speedware in Redmond WA (ask for Kelly)

Pretty sure sharkwerks sells them

You may be able to get part numbers off the racetechnologies website (USA distributor) or the vivid racing website

Good to know

www.racetechnologies.com for part numbers -- you can search by vehicle and make sure you select "pccb equipped"

this page is helpful as well

Trakcar and Izzone...pioneered this and are using PFC rotors and PFC08 pads....this seems to be the best option. Contact Clark at Apex Performance in S. Carolina.

would i be correct in saying that the 997 Cup rotors fit on the 997 PCCB?

P.J.S.

have any of the FLA guys used the brembo type III rotors?
I would be curious to hear about their longevity compared to PFC rotors...

I have usually found that the price of the brembos scares people away so they never get good direct comparisons. In my experience the brembos have worn great... so initial price is all relative to service life so to speak... I am pleased. I am told I would be more pleased with the lower priced giros as they cost less and last just as long.

I have been using brembo type IIIs since 2006 -- so can I take "pioneer" credit? :-)

I have decided to go the Performance Friction route. I am going with the PFC floating rotors in the front and the Girodisc floating rotors in the rear so I do not loose the parking brake. I am also going to go with the PFC 08 pads all around. From all of my resarch this seems like a good setup. I did an event last weekend on the PCCB's and just did not like the feel at the top end of the braking force. The pads also wear unevenly. I have an event next weekend so I will report back. Hopefully I will be happy.

Thanks to all who have helped!

No, cup front are not direct bolt on......rears have no parking brake provisions

Offset is slightly different, you will have to shave one of the pads

Brembo/ Giro is nice, but require a special pagid cut pad.......pagid sucks so not worth it.

AP or PFC, AP is true floater.....PFC is floater you can secure
