The PCCB's weren't available on the Cayenne's until 2009. The stock calipers up until 2009 were black, sliver, or red. They should be reds, since it's a Turbo. I would suggest going with the Hawk Performance Ceramic pads they're designed for low-noise, low-dust performance and superior, fade resistant braking. Ceramic brake pads dissipate heat well, last longer with less rotor wear, and do not generate the dark brake dust common with conventional pads.

For our full selection of pads we offer Click Here.

Note your Cayenne does not come with the Turbo Power Kit. The Turbo Power Kit has larger, two-piece front rotors.

Does a magnet stick to the rotors?

I have PCCBs on my 11CT and it's immediately apparent that these are steel rotors..so painted calipers
The ceramics have a mat-grayish hue

no way they are ceramics, they look completely different. this is how the ceramics look on a cayenne:

Yeah it still looks pretty good. Previous owner did a good job painting the calipers.

At least it saved you a trip to the Porsche dealer

Yes as others said it was immediately obvious that 1. they are steel and 2. not two piece.

One of our forum members (sorry, I can't recall who it is...) has a C4S with yellow calipers painted at the factory. Not many people customize that, but it can be done if you order your car.
