If so how much? BTW, how much are the replacement pads vs regular brakes? At nearly 10% of the cost of the car is a pricey option.

there must be some sort of added resale value for pccb's. they are pricey but you don't realize how imperative they are until you have them. no matter how many consecutive times you hammer the brakes, you always know the ceramics are gonna stop you without fading or pulsing like the standard steel brakes do after they get hot. I guess you have to ask yourself what kind of driver you are. If you drive like you're on a racetrack everyday then you should opt for the ceramics. If you are an average driver that is less likely to push the porsche envelop then don't bother with the pccb option. On the other hand, if you are a neat freak and meticulous about clean wheels then you will be quite pleased with dust free braking of the ceramics. It's your world and your money, do as you please.

Sorry for the diversion...
