I've heard of them before plus Stef recommended them. I did some research and have not read any complaints thus far. I hope they last.

Yes it is man jewllery. It's like a fine timepiece
The brakes are fine. They squeaked before when I had OEM PCCB pads and now they squeak with my Porsche Motosport P50 pads. I track my car as well so it's a hit or miss as sometimes they squeak less or more after a track day

I think there's something wrong with your brakes. Mine doesn't sound like a bus anymore after the track day.
Lets trade brakes

Love the sound of the catless exhaust but the brakes sound horrible (almost sounds like an old car on budget brakes)...

Also, how come your tailights are flashing like this when you press the brakes?

Most performance brakes running race pads will sound like that. Doesn't bother me one bit. Reminds me every time that I'm in a sports car and not a lexus

In regards to the flashing, it's the video camera that makes it look that way. Only happens with LED brake lights.

Awesome post! thanks for sharing! I can finally hear what the EP sounds like and... i love it! What intake system are you running if any???

As per the brakes i know you dont mind the sound but there is actually a recall on the rear breaking system on these cars, mine started to squeak and the dealer replaced the whole rear end assembly, i didnt complain about it Also the squeaking never came back...

I don't have an aftermarket intake system. Everyting is stock except for Europipe and my suspension.

My squeking also comes from the front. I doubt the dealer will do anything about it as I'm running P50 Greens. I also had the brake pad wear sensors removed. They are useless anyway as PCCBC brake pads don't wear evenly. They wear with a bevel.

Chris,
I see you have wider tires on 19inch wheels. I'm looking for wider tires for mine. Do you have the specs for the wheels?

Aye the squeal isn't that bad! Get 'em up to temp with a couple of stops and you're good. PCCB's can make a bit of noise for sure

For sure. On the track they don't squeal but they sure do on the street.
