If you think you will have the car at 25k to 35k miles and don't mind spending $12k to $15k to replace them, go for it. If you know you won't have the car, then go for it. Did I mention they look great!

 

I thought they were supposed to last about 100,000 miles of normal, non-track use. are you saying the average replacment milage is 30K miles?
Thats about $.43/mile just for brake replacement.

 

What?! what an ignorant statement

 

What lines?

 

Don't mention it!

 

At 25-35k miles you'll need to replace the brake pads not the brake discs, pads costed me 1800euro where discs cost around 12k

 

If they were a no cost option, I would likely pick them, otherwise I am really happy with the red ones. You will be paying for yellow calipers and bragging rights.

Hope to meet you soon at one of the C&C events here. Have fun shopping. A.

 

I would have a hard time paying $8k more for a car with PCCB's, but I bought a used 2008 and you know how the used market goes as far as options . I figure I can always replace the PCCB's with steel rotors if I don't feel like paying $15K or whatever it is for new rotors. Also, I've been told that as long as you're not tracking on a regular basis, the rotors should last about 100,000 miles.

 

The turbo set isn't listed on their site. I had to call them. Great customer service though, and shipped pretty fast too.

Now that's a expert opion! LOL

 

For a street car they work great. Track work not so much. They are not cost effective on the track. Initial cost is not the only issue. As the pads wear out you cannot risk pad to disc contact. The disc cost about $4k each. The disc can also be chipped or cracked if struck. Alway use two centering bolts when changing wheels. Most tire shops are unaware of this. In the used market the PCCB do not hold there value relative to their initial cost.
