Running R888's, doing mostly DE3 and TT with the RS, have been running a Grand Am spec 996 for NASA and ASA racing. like I said in my title, I am not an expert but we have been getting very favorable results out of the PCCB.

Suggested Adrift call my mechanic about a conversion because he believes is might be a cheaper option when we do have to get around to change out the rotors and he has been researching various options.

not looking for a debate, just trying to pass along some info.

PCCB is the worst marketing scam done by Porsche ever and I'm telling you by experience (997 GT3). I know many, many other people that had the same experience with them.

Just the reality, period.
