At least with the current 997 version of PCCB, not many people report squeeky brakes. Are you referring to earlier versions?

That’s news to me. Under what types of braking scenarios do your PCCB’s squeak? I only ask because mine have never made a sound in over 11,000 miles of use.

No squeaks. 13,000 miles. Only bad when wet after a carwash. Not bad when wet when driving. No problems ever. Drove a turbo without ceramics. I don't know if it was the feel or true stopping distance. It definetly didn't feel right. Wouldn't go back to steel.

I have PCCBs and love them. Just had the car on the track (Streets of Willow) and thought they performed incredibly. They are great on the street, no noise, no dust, lighter than steel and look awesome. They aren't cheap and I wouldn't add them after the fact. On a new car or if you can find them on a pre-owned, they are a great option.
