Have you driven a Cayenne with them yet?

They are much better hands down then the standard brakes. I drive my Cayenne every day and love it.

I guess I was speaking of the GT class instead of the Cayenne, not my norm to drive PCCB brakes on a daily Cayenne as of yet. Maybe I'll have to swap out a set to compare some time...

We swapped out a set on a GT3RS at Fast Forward Performance on Friday and noticed a track upgrade was sharing more noice when we compared the two. Looks like there was some give and take from the situation on that particular set up. 20K upgrade from Brembo on that quick-relase set up.

Work is completed in around a weeks time. . . Los Angeles area.... Monterey Park, CA

Oh, and one last thing, the decals for the Cayenne fronts are larger than those traditionally used on the Porsche calipers so we stock those sizes now. . . . I have a set that I'll be doing this week for the Cayenne so I'll try to pop off a couple of photos.

ino this was a while ago but at how many degrees do you bake the breaks

All I'll say is that they are baked at a safe temperature, those lower than the temps these will reach during hard braking. Temps and Time along with the type of clear are trade-information....
