I am considering spec'ing PCCB on a new 911 C2S and am interested in feedback anyone has about the "feel" of the brakes. I have heard from a local stereo installer than several people have PCCB and regret it - claiming they are too "touchy". I was wondering what the experience of the people on this board has been? Any downsides, other than price? Any upsides that aren't obvious?

I currently have an SL55 which is very poor in this area (it's servo assisted).

Bluntly stated considerations (my us$.02):
Massive 13.8 inch vented and perforated 6 piston (4 in rear) monoblock caliper stock brakes never let me down, disappointed nor failed to impress me during my frisky driving on public roads.
You can not carry a spare because it won't fit over larger PCCB rotor; no spare makes your car less reliable by definition.
Apparently (?) you have to be a little cautious when conditions become wet. Lowers your safety margin if only for a few moments of initial application if they become wet after long period of disuse.
Extra money for PCCB will increase your track performance.
Red and yellow are both annoying "look-at-my-ugly-calipers" colors, maybe choose the one which blends in better with your exterior body color choice.

I've had three sets of them, and now have them on my GT3RS. I love them in all ways, but I would not order them on a C2S, not cost effective. On a $140K car, yes, but not a a regular 911. Stock brakes plenty good for street driving.

MMD, you are simply wrong about the ability to have a spare tire fit.

Sure, like all brakes, they don't work effectively that first time you step on the brake coming out of a car wash, but that's it.
