My car came with the Porsche ceramic brakes and they are insane. I don't track my car but I do enjoy it. Drove a friend TT with regular brakes and there is no comparison. IF you want the best, this is it.

agreed, after test driving TT with and without I can honestly say that the factory PCCB brakes are insane, no wonder they're nicknamed "the hand of god". I ended up getting a TT with the stock brakes, just couldn't justify the price delta but if money is not an issue then PCCB is incredible

Well I agree on the initial cost but these are suppose to last a crazy long time. If they do, it is well worth it. I can't comment on the longevity yet but perhaps other here can chime in.

I tried and love PCCBs, but if your car is not stock fitted with, the cost from iron set is insane too (about 15000$); nevertheless, two points:

-all the track guys I met bolt off their PCCB from their GT3 and GT3RS because of the cost and because of the short efficience duration of those brakes on tracking mode. (?)

-all those told me the setup I ordered gave them a litlle loss in pedal feel but shorter braking distances and longer efficience and life duration.

I track my TT 3 times a year and high speed on desert roads, PCCB should be perfect, regardless their cost! I will give you my feeling with my new set up...
