You are right Ferdie, Porsche screwed up their communication when they realesed PCCB on the 996 GT2, now the message is very different, even on the website, they mention to have the brakes checked after each trackday (OTT IMO).

At the end of the day, they are better than steel brakes, not day and night but they are quite significantly better.

Worth the extra cost?

If you don't track your car I'd say yes, if you tack a lot, I'd say take steel brakes.

But then you'll always have idiots like me who order PCCB, to sound cool in the pub you know...Smiley
