Besides the color, are the calipers the same for 997TT regular vs PCCB brakes?

Are there low dust pads for regular 997TT brakes that do not effect braking performance (or make it better)?

I miss my 996TT PCCB but the biggest issue for me is the dust.

 

The PCCB caliper is larger and has 6 pistons versus a 4 piston caliper used for the metal rotors.

And you are right: For the street, the biggest benefit of PCCB is being relatively dust free.

 

Are you sure the 997 TT has only 4 pistons. i am pretty sure it is 6 up front.

 

Correct. Both are six-piston at front and 4-piston at rear. The PCCB option increases the front discs from 13.8 or 350 mm to 15.0 or 380 mm.

 

According to the Porsche site, the standard calipers are 4 piston front and rear.

How can you not see it?? Don't need a website to tell me there 6-pots when I can just take a look at it. I don't have PCCB but how can one not notice that big azz caliper

 

Those are 2010 specs. I wonder if Porsche downgraded the turbo brakes for 2010. More cost cutting?

My 2007 calipers are definitely 6 piston, only in red.

 

Is it the same exact caliper except for color?

Also, would converting to PCCB be as simple as swapping rotors and pads or are the calipers on a different mount to accommodate the larger rotors?

I doubt I'd do this because of the high cost but I am very curious.

 

My 2007 has 6 up front, just looked at them last nite. (steel)

 

Click on where it says "4 piston monobloc fixed..." and check out the window that pops up.

"The standard braking system features six-piston fixed calipers at the front and four-piston fixed calipers at the rear."

 

My bad and I stand corrected. I have PCCB, so I just looked (not deeply enough) at the website.
