PCCB to Steel brake rotor conversion options?

Anyone know if this is available for the Panamera? I keep getting results for 911's when searching Google.

Do you mean the Brembo big brake kit for the Turbo that includes loaded calipers and rotors?

Is there any way to re-use my existing calipers and just change the pads and rotors?

You can sell the calipers and whats left from your existing brakes .
I would get drilled& slotted brembo brakes for minimal weight . Also you have the option for bigger rear brakes . The oem rear ones are very small

I have the pccb and from what I've been told those brakes are for track use seem to handle well under hard breaking and an all day hard runs when dialing it in. I'd keep em just my opinion

Given that the replacement cost of all 4 PCCB rotors is more than a very nice pre-owned track prepared Mazda Miata, I was hoping there was a simple conversion of the rotors and pads that allowed me to reuse the calipers.

I have read forum posts about PCCB rotors being destroyed after just 1 track day.

Contact the Porsche driving school down at Barber to find out what their experience is.

What year?

RacingBrake can help. We have iron disc from 300 to 432mm (12 - 17") and we converted more CCM to iron brake than any other competitions.

Notable conversions:
Aston Martin: DBS (398/360mm)
BMW: M3/M4 (F8X) (400/380mm)
Corvette ZR1: (394/380mm)
Ferrari: F430 Scuderia/F458 (398/360mm)
Porsche: 991 GT3 (410/390mm)
I heard Panamera CCB is even more expensive than 991, so you may want to know that we can also build CCM replacement rotor using Surface Transforms CCM-X discs which is much stronger due to different process (continuous than chopped fiber) and cost only fraction of dealers' cost.

See our CCM rotors and brake package coverage:

Will add to list as soon as we have the rotor sizes sorted out.

Is your pccb an option or standard, as according to Porsche website it's standard (at least on their 2016 models)

If optional do you know if your front pccb is 390 or 410mm, and confirm your calipers are red or yellow.

Thanks

2013 Panamera GTS had PCCB as an option. It is listed as an option on my build sheet. Calipers are yellow.
According to the 2014 spec sheet (linked below), the GTS PCCBs are 410mm front and 350mm rear with thickness of 38mm front and 28mm rear, but I haven't been able to find the similar spec sheet for the 2013.

*EDIT* - Just measured one of my front rotors with a tape measure, and it's 410mm.
