I think you mean "hygroscopic". It means "having a tendency to absorb moisture from the air".

 

And the question begs to be asked: Are you selling the PCCB's? If you are - please PM me.

Mike,
If you don't sell yours, I am happy to let others know that we are selling our PCCB's off our 2010 GT3, that are basically brand new.
Happy to sell to someone, they are begging for a home.
Good luck Mike and hope to see you at the track soon.
Thanks

Robb

Thanks. Will respond.

 

First of all, I had a chance this Saturday to try out the steel Cup rotors with Pagid R29 at Infineon. It work great without fuzz or fade. Much more confidence inspiring. Will post video once Youtube decide to work lol

I read you. When I first bought my RS I realize people in general just don't DIY these type of car. I thought I should be one of the first to fix some of the pesty problems myself. Hope to contribute more in the future

I have my PCCB in a shrine lol. Will try out couple brake pad combo next year

Interesting ... never thought about PCCB vs steel brake Caliper parameter. i sure hope they are the same. So far no problem even with track use. I will inspect the brakes often and repeort if there are issues

Thanks Edwin for the info. So far I have no problem with Motul or ATE racing blue. Will try SRF next time and I hope they make it in a different color other to ease bleeding

 

Great write-up Mike!

 

WOW!!! Fantastic DIY contribution. I applaud you for the time and effort not only to do the conversion but to post every step with clear as day photos.

I had the PCCB swapped for the Brembo steel rotors due to the ceramic rotors developing pits and disintegrating after track use. However they always performed without any fade.

That said I still use the stock Pagid pad for the GT2 and they fit without any issues and stop flawlessly time after time.

If the doctor thing doesn't work out in the future at least you know you can always find work repairing Porsches.

 

What a tremendous thread. Well done, and enjoy those new brakes!

 

Now that's what I call a proper write-up! Enjoyed reading it (along with the LSD one).

 

Great write up, for what it's worth I never had any fade problem with my PCCB, but I changed out to Wildwood steel brakes about 9 months ago.

 

awesome work miky btw, did you ever sell that extra set of csl cats and headers??

 

Thanks guys. Can't do it without your many technical and parts support

I submit my employment application at Porsche Inc. and they told me to take it to the VW dealer down the street LOL

Glad you guys like the write up. I had a chance to give it a go at Infineon this past weekend and it works perfectly with excellent stopping power ... just wish the track wasn't so cold and slippery. It was very dangerous for most of the day and one of the 6 GT3 crash at turn 7

Will give it more "go" in a week or so at Laguna Seca

Here is the Cup steel brakes trial video from Infineon

Thanks Fern

Yes, I sold all my CSL exhaust to help pay for these project. Are you looking for a set?

 

nice write up and video. What kind of camera setup were you using?
