How much weight do you save if you opt for ceramics?
About 10 Lbs per corner depending on which breaks you are substituting. This is a lot different than shedding body weight though because it is unsprung. Ever watch the young fit women run at the gym. You can still see the unsprung weight move around.
My PCCB under heavy track use were horrible at second track day, problem is the rotors only have 1mm of real live and pads have half durability live (on work hours) than rotors aprox.
Now I upgrade mines whith this: http://www.systemst.com/ and now I can say "I have a real ceramic-carbon brackes"
Sorry for my english.

I guess I was referring to the guys that order their 997 without PCCB.....just the steel Porsche rotors.

I find PCCB brilliant. No dust, lower unsprung weight gives better ride and performance. Brake feel is much better, what is not to like? Probably wouldn't spec on a C2/4 but a no brainer on GT2/3 or Turbo although I did regret not putting on wife's Cayman PD1.

Aren't brakepads for PCCB disks a lot more expensive too?
I've heard the total replacement for PCCB pads and rotors is around $40,000.
Maybe an exaggeration - but I'd check it out. If you're not running a dedicated track car - and even if you are and have a limited budget, I'd stick with the stock brakes, and upgrade the fluid.

I don't why you need to replace it IF you maintain it correctly.
If people too worry about replacement cost, then he/she should not drive a Porsche IMO.

Not even close. Pads (front and rear) are about $800 (or less). Rotors are about $13-15k (all around).
