Why would it be different from a steel brakes system?

Yup,
Stretch, touch toes, limber the lower back, then:
Remove wheels, and replace with steel.
Stretch again, place heavy ceramics on the shelf for when you sell the car, or sell as parts.
Final stretch, limber up, have a steam and a bourbon.

because cost vs performance is just facepalmingly dumb. they are a marketing gimmick. they look neat and people know you paid a ton, but no enthusiast save full race cars get anywhere near the operating envelope of performance to exploit ccb. even then notice full race cars all run steel because it works great for a tiny fraction of the cost (cups come w steel).
now the pccb calipers, on the other hand, are very very nice to get paws on...coupled w steel the calipers are so good they are a prepared change to stock classes in Club racing.

I like the PCCB's on my Turbo S, especially on the track.
I must be one of those facepalmingly dumb people who actually likes the way they feel and work and wear (and produce no brake dust).
Just one dumb man's opinion I suppose......

I would warm them just like steel, accelerate and brake long and smooth a bunch of times on the out lap before you turn it up

I was on the same page of selling PCCB and run steel, but I recently swapped to the CCB Surface Transfers rotors and its the best thing I have ever done.
Running cost is about the same as steel rotors, I was 0.5 seconds faster but more importantly the brakes are completely consistent from the first lap to the last lap.
Such a joy to run them, I should have sooner and I'll never go back to steel.

I just make sure I do a cool down lap at low speeds and even turn off PDK so it goes to a higher gear for the last lap.
I have actually come off the track before and had my calipers smoking after running some hard laps for a TT, and I was told they can actually catch on fire so the cool down lap is pretty important and I don't have any smoking calipers when I do that.

at Sebring I usually drive straight out the gate to a gas station for a steady 4 mike run @60MPH if we don’t get much cool down time and/or I need gas.

Autoquest is the US importer. They have lots of experience, their home track is Sebring. Sebring is a brake killer and there are tons for GT3’s running them here.
