Corniche- 7500 miles , no squealing, not going to have the car past January 2011 so who cares about rotor life. Going to get a 2011 Cayenne Turbo ..with ceramics. The things we do to save on taxes in the USA.

anyone know why you can option PCCB with the Cayenne S but not the Turbo in Porsche configurator? I'm being told that PCCB is not available to be ordered yet on the Turbo- verifying with other sources if this is tru but in the meantime anyone knows what the story is?

So, how often do PCCBs need to get replaced?

i had a 2004 Cayenne and now have a 2011 Turbo with standard brakes. I beleive they are the same config. but the 11's brakes feel much better and stop the TT on a dime. the new cayenne is much lighter so you have to take this into consideration. The standard brakes are above and beyond competitor brakes so i honestly think PCCB is overkill. But if i had $7k to burn, i would get them too

I had a 997tts which is a pretty fast car...with ceramics that are just as quick and efficient to slow it down.It gave me much confidence to know i could depend on my breaks no matter how fast I was going and break at the last minute
Naturally I ordered them on my CT
I am sure I will get plenty of use out of them on the Autobahn

They do stop the TT on a dime, but I can't stop wondering what the braking would be like with PCCB, since there is such a difference between '11 CTT and '05 CS I had. But if the life of the PCCB brakes is the same, then I doubt it makes sense to get them.

You can afford a $120k SUV but can't spend the extra 7k? Come on bud.

In all seriousness, I gave them serious consideration on my CT but they really did seem like overkill on the new beast. Ultimately decided against them because of replacement costs and the fact that I flag my 911 when I want to have fun and mostly will use the CT for lugging stuff around. But oh what fun it is to lug stuff around.

Will someone answer definitively, how often they need to be replaced?
