Will 996TT PCCBs work on my 997S?

Someone local is selling his 996TT with the PCCBs and wants to trade for my big reds plus cash for his yellow PCCBs and carbon rotors. Is this a direct bolt on fitment? What else if anything would I need to make this swap. They only have 5000 miles on them. Thanks in advance guys.

First of all, the 996's were GEN I PCCB's and there are a lot of problems with these that were resolved on the 997's. Second, I don't think that the Rotors and Hangers have the offset, therefore they won't fit properly.

Personally I would keep your OEM brakes, they are awesome and if you need more braking capacity at the track try a set of Pagid Yellow's

I bought mine from Craig @ www.Rennstore.com gave me a great deal. No affiliation to him, just a good guy.

As highly as I think of the PCCB's, I would never pay for a pair of Gen-II aftermarket. It would be far more cost efficient to purchase a nice set of Brembo's, etc.

He's only asking for my reds plus $3500 CAD, seems very reasonable. Hey NorthVan, what kind of problems did these brakes have?

The rotors will delaminate, and are about $8000 a set to replace. Try searching in the 996 section for PCCB problems.

Stay with your stock brakes, teh PCCB's will only give you a little less unsprung weight, other then that your braking distance will not change, and you will be into this project for $5000 plus your brakes.

All 4 of my calipers are dark red, I have worked them hard and have yet to have them fade, these brakes work very well.
