PCCB Questions (brake pads)
Hello,
I have a few questions for those of you who have experience with PCCB's. This is my first car with ceramic brakes so I am not that knowledgeable. The car is a 2012 Turbo S.
1. Are there any aftermarket options for brake pads? All I can find are OEM and they are 600 for front and 600 for rear.
2. Do brake pads for pccb last longer or the same as pads for steel rotors?
3. How do you know when your breaks are going? I have done about 10 canyon runs and I am starting to hear some squeals at low speeds. Is it a dumb move to wait until the brake pad indicator light comes on?
If you know of any aftermarket brake pads for cheaper, please post links. Thanks

Squealing doesn't mean they're bad or going bad...On my TTS it means they're just dirty from being driven.
High pressure wash them and no squeals for a while until dirty again.
Measuring pads would be the only way you should know if they need replaced. I've read most people change them at about 40%-50% life in pad left.
