I had 2 turbos with ceramics and have an RS with them. Looking at a new Turbo but car does not have ceramics. Will I notice much of a difference ?

 

No. I am dead set against the ceramics. If you track the car you'll have problems and the cost benefit ratio is out of whack IMO, others will feel differently

 

I just responded to this on 6speed...my vote is against ceramics...the stockers are fantastic.

 

I had PCCB's on my 05 997S and now on my 09 TT. I was going to order a 2010 GT3 (but decided to go TT instead). After a lot of thought, I was not going to order PCCB's on the GT3; I decided the initial cost plus potential future costs really wasn't worth it. I ended up with PCCB's on my TT only because they were on the otherwise "perfect" car that was on the lot.

In short, I think regular brakes are awesome, and there is no reason why PCCB's are a must have.

 

I switched to iron rotors on my GT2 after destroying the ceramics in about 10 track days. I am very happy with the switch and haven't noticed any drop in braking performance. I am not a great driver but am a pretty good DE driver so I might not have noticed a subtle difference. II personally would not pay extra for ceramics.

 

thanks for the responses

 

The coolest thing about the ceramics (no pun intended) is the "yellow" color...as others have stated, put in a top quality brake fluid, and the stock brakes are great.

 

I think the coolest thing about ceramics is no brake dust. But, that wasn't enough for me to consider them must haves. I'm still rollin' with my Big Reds.

 

Less brake dust? Other advantages.....I'm still thinking....nope.

 

How about less weight - not enough to notice?

 

That's been the experience of most customers.

 

Craig, are you going to be running that girodisc deal again anytime soon?

Never again will it happen - BUT with the free shipping and Rennlist discount, the prices have not been lower.
