This caliper looks as big as PCCBs
It is!
Now that the steel brake have 6 piston front calipers the calipers are as big as the PCCB's. That's actually the first question I had for the rep yesterday. He said the front & rear calipers on the steel brake setup & the PCCB's are the same size. I'm still uncertain about whether I will order PCCB's or not. I probably will, love them on my CS.
btw: If anyone's interested in my 997 S cabriolet I will be putting up for sale shortly. The car is perfect, probably better than new because it's already had the proper break-in and has 3M armour profesionally installed.
Lots of reasons.
First off the calipers are the same size but the front rotors on the PCCB's are larger.
The main reason is of course performance. After long periods of hard use the PCCB's wont fade like the steel set-up. They're bullit proof.
For me another huge reason is that the PCCB's are so clean. the Carbon Ceramic's on my CS leave almost zero brake dust. The calipers stay looking clean so do the rotors and the rims. With my 997 the rims get dirty even before the car needs to be washed. And then after a wash of the steel rotors they dump dirty water back into the rims. For most people not really a big deal, for OCD folks like myself a real pain in the arse. Even if there wasn't a performance advantage, just not having to clean the rims like I have to now everytime would be worth the price of the PCCBs imo. The only thing I'm not sure of is - Will the new steel brakes on the Turbo be as difficult as the steel rotors on the 997 S ? Wish I knew.
