    PCCB 2 problems???

    Hi guys ,
    Please let me know if your 997 pccb brakes have problems .
    my car now has 20000 km ,3 trackdays ....I changed the brake pads a week ago.Now my front rotors have a lot of little cracks ,my motorsport garage says that theese cracks are normal due a trackday in Monza (a lot of hight brakes from 250 km/h to 50 km/h in 150 meters) .
    My garage boy says that is better mounting 350 gt3cup steel rotors in the front because PCCB brakes are not suitable for track use . (500 euro both vs 6000 euro for a PCCB brake)
    He says that if I use the car in a lot trakdays ,my PCCB life is short .....
    I payd for ceramic composite brakes and now I'd like to use them ...on street ,on track ...everywhere i like to go with my car .

    asap i post a picture of my rotors .

    That early wear with hard use seemed to be one of the problems with the first generation PCCB's... looks like its not fixed

    Maybe less agressive pads would help?

    Sergini...'re you a Test Dummy?!?!? ;-)

    What you're experincing with your car is almost what a common user can find after 60'000Km! This is a sign that you're a true GOAT.



    Problem: 997S is not a Track Day Best Car

    Simple Solution: Change your Giorstraio's 997S with a Capra's 996GT3 Mk2

    Not Wanted Side Effect: Sergini printed on a wall...

    ...NO GOOD!!!

    Stay with your fantastic 997S Sergini! ;-)

    Beye!

    as your mechanic suggested, it is a good idea to switch temporarily (or permanently) to the GT3 cup rotors and pads if you are going to do alot of track work.

    I really had hoped that we wouldn't be hearing this with the new PCCB, especially since the new cups will have pccb. I'd get some steel brakes and never look back. The 997S is a good track car, PCCB just seems not to be good track brakes. good luck.

    997S -isn't it a problem that it has a wet sump system...especially on a track like monza?
