I know the PCCBs are a pricey option up front, but how is the maintenance on these things?

 

No maintenance issues. The biggest problem that people have with the brakes are that they tend to "shock" them at the track and the result is the actual rotor starts to degrade.

On the street you will never have an issue. At the track you need to bring them up to temperature slowly. You will hurt the rotors if you just go out and pound on them without letting them come up to operating temp. Same thing with the cool down.

I have them on our WC-GT2 11k miles and a ton of track time and no issues. I know of people who have 1/5th of the track time and are having issues because they "shocked" the rotor.

 

What about when it comes time to replace pads and rotors? $$?

the "shock temperature" is bad for carbon or steel brake disc!!!
when you have a brand new car or a brand new brake system you should ride the system for about 500km without over heat it! you should be carefull with your pads but more carefull with your new disc!
you dont have to brake hard at high speed! thats very bad for your system!

and every system...steel or carbon doesnt brake well if the system is cool! you should warm the system to have a perfect performance!

just my opinion....

 

The rotors will last the life of the car.

Last I checked for my GT2 the stock pads were in the $300 range for the fronts and the rear were in the high $200

Hope that helps.

 

Thats a bargain, when you consider having to replace steel rotors.
