PCCB's going on

I've had the itch to get PCCB's installed for a year or so. Several have told me that the loss of all that unsprung weight makes the car feel much more nimble, in addition to the other benefits. So today, as I type, the dealer is installing them (sorry Sharkster, I know you disapprove). Can't wait to put them to the test this weekend. What has been the experience with others who have switched to PCCB after significant time with iron?

hehe no I do not! I just like GTR's better... You are correct though they are a bit lighter than teh GTR's. The calipers we have are lighter, the rotors you have are lighter. You save a few pounds more overall tho....

That's a relief The only other thing is to make sure someone like Brian@Carlsen does it.. "in case" there's any warranty issue

Thanks man -- they are good, plus you get to take the Sausalito ferry to pick up your car instead of driving 101.
