PCCB to Steel

I found a GT3 that looks interesting (too buy) but it has PCCB's. I want to track the car so that's a problem... Does anyone have any idea what it would cost to replace the PCCB with a steel setup (Porsche or Brembo)?

Thank you.
Roy

Track it as it is until the disk give out. By that time they will have come down to a more sensible price due to the 997 and Porsche using them in the Cup series.

A complete front set up is about £1700 fitted, I know of cars running Steel front and Pccb rear to no ill effect.

Just try it and see what you think, you could always use it as a bargaining point to knock the guy down a few thousand!

Still tracking those tired ole pccb! YeHaaa

Mr. RS

For those people that are using the rear only PCCB, do you know what kind of pad's they are using?

I am going with the AP rotors up front and want to use the rear PCCB rotor and I am tempted to use the RS-14 pads front and rear, but i am a little worried.

What do you think?

Use the Yellow Pagid RS-19, they are excellent.

To the best of my knowledge they are using the standard pads.

Hope that helps.

Try Steve at Rennsport. He is working on a solution using 350mm AP floating rotors front and rear.

If you want to swap the PCCB for factory steel parts... The front rotors are a direct swap with no caliper change required. The rears require the calipers to be swapped to accomodate the smaller size of the rear rotors.
