I know most people go the other way but I was thinking about people who may have converted to ceramic brakes on a 996t. The parts list says that the brake lines are different to the callipers and that the rear backing plates are also different.

I also know that the GT2 and turbo rotor hats are different and that you can't buy these individually. So what options do you have if the rotors are off a GT2, can you machine the hats or do you have to get new hats made? If so where can I find the specs?

Any clues or comments on the above re fitment would be appreciated.

Thanks.

 

I can't answer your question,but I am curious as to why anyone would spend the money and time to upgrade to the ceramics.It seems both on the street or the race track there are more choices,less headaches,and much less cost assoctated with steel versus ceramic.Now the calipers in yellow do look cool,and the fade resistence on the race track is nice,but the overall cost seems too much for this.

 

They are very very light, and less weight = good. The PCCB are great brakes, but expensive to replace. If you have an unlimited maintenance budget keep them by all means.

 

If street driven than the brakes should last atleast 75,000 miles. Once it gets to that point then ofcourse one can convert the system into the steel brakes.
