Going from steel brakes to PCCBs, anyone know what’s involved?

I have a 2016 turbo with center lock wheels. Does anyone know what’s involved in converting from a steel brake set up to carbons? Any help would be great.
Thanks Guys

Trade in your car for one with PCCBs. Even if you could do it, you're looking at 20k in rotors and God knows how much for the larger calipers.

Most people ask about downgrading from the PCCBs to steel. Why the interest in the upgrade at this point?

Agreed. The price is ridiculous, and a different car would be cheaper.

wutangmo15 is an unknown quantity at this point
I'm curious about this conversion as well. I recently saw a post selling the pccb calipers, rotors, and pads for around $10k.

I’m not sure anyone knows. They just want to know why.

I'm interested in trading out my pccb plus some amount of cash for steel set up.

It may not be what you want if you want to stay OEM, but there are now aftermarket suppliers doing carbon ceramic brakes at a more reasonable, albeit 5 figure cost. Check out Movit, Alcon or maybe Brembo.

ccb> dramatic performance over steel
Its huge difference in cornering and overall feel above 80mph with ccb's. why do you thin bike guys with 7k$ bikes ru 4k$ carbon wheels?

The difference been a 997.2 and one with ccb;s is NIGH AND DAY in handling turn in and feel/reponse from the wheels.

Keep them only cheap skates cover to steel. really. pick a fight with me on it. its a cost savings factor only. period. ccb better for street better for track better period. other than wallet.
