Guy,I'd like to see at least at least one success story of hard use of PCCBs. Didnt Porsche test them? No feed back on GEN 2 ?? carl

 

Sorry, but I just don't know any. There are obviously few people with PCCB and fewer still who drive their cars hard and use forums. Of these I know directly of at least 5 PCCB failures.

I would love to hear of someone who had done 50,000 hard miles on PCCB without problems, but as yet they don't exist.

As for PCCB Gen 2, no-one has enough miles on them yet.

Guy

 

I'm guessing that Gen 2 is an improvment but it won't solve the problem. The 996 chassis, at least, doesn't provide enough cooling to run these brakes without any failures. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that I am proved wrong.

 

To hell with my thoughts of switching to PCCB.

 

Again i wonder what the hell was there testing program before the brought them to market? I've seen this before with porsche useing the customer for cheep R&D !! carl

 

12,000-ish on my 02 TT non X50 and 45,000-sih miles on my 03TTX50 - no issues at all - as previously mentioned, on track days a couple lap warm up is all you need for max stopping power and they stop much better than the red stockers

 

t2, are they both PCCBs? carl

 

Yes - the 02 was swapped over from red stockers and the 03 came from the factory with PCCB's - I love them - FYI - I had about 20k miles on the 02 before swapping them over......

 

t2, thats the best i've seen, are the fronts discolored? Can you post a pic of the fronts? carl

 

Yeah I'll post a pic of the fronts and rears but it'll have to be later this week - no grooving on the rotors and no discoloration - they are rock solid. I recommend them. Losing all that unsprung weight is a nice advantage also.
