PCCB would actually be better if you don't plan to track the car. People tend to go with steel rotors if they track because it's less costly to replace.

I don't think you should get white seatbacks. Too much of a contrast. Go with aluminum look or leather.

Would aluminum look good on Carerra Red?

Regarding PCCBs, I can't speak about tracking (I've never tracked my TT), but I can speak for the street. I have PCCBs and I've driven similarly equipped TTs without PCCB. The difference in stopping power is dramatic. If you drive aggressively on the street, you'll enjoy your PCCBs. As a fringe benefit, they're half the weight as steel and there's no brake dust!

its so nice to not have dirty *** wheels when I'm just cruising around. Also, I believe they don't rust like the steel ones do when they get wet. Not that you should spend $10k to have nice looking wheels, but it is a nice benefit to being able to stop better.

Aluminum look works quite well with Carrera red.

  • I do not wantg the interior to be all red, so contrasting it with Carbon here and there was a good option. I saw one car in the showroom with Caron on Carrera Red, and it sure did look good.
  • I have changed the gear / Ebrake option to DAW. Thanks guys! I sure would have been upset if that had not come up with deviated stitiching.
  • We thought of white stitching first, but it is guaranteed it would get dirty by our little one, so we opted for black instead. It will be hard enough maintaining the red interior.
  • White seatback would look wierd with the red interior? Anyone have any pictures?
  • PCCB would be an expensive option. Is it really necessary if I am not going to track the car?

i have white seat backs on my 08 CW, but i have black interior. along with white stitching... pm if u want pics
