GT3 Brakes
#2
I don't but that is because I track my car. the guys who i have talked to say they are to costly to repair replace if you are doing allot of aggressive braking and need to replace rotors and pads. I do not have them so this is not first hand, but they are more costly for sure.

Not for the track if you do it a lot... (I enjoyed 4500 track miles this summer) I "upgraded" my PCCB's to AP racing steels in the front, and cup car steels in the rear, and use Pagid 19's. Had the car reprogammed for the steel brakes. Much better (and cost effective) to track. I could modulate the peddle better, easier heal/toe and better pad selection, and no fears of damaging an expensive rotor.
I still have the PCCB's to re-install for resale... if that should ever happen. (I enjoy this car too much)

Its a must have!,its a track car why have a few drawbacks.
In my perspective a GT3 has to be loaded with CF,PCCB's and the Clubsport and no fancy mumbo jumbo such as PCM,Sunroof,lighted doorsills and other un necessary items.

You don't say if you are considering a 996 GT3 or a 997 GT3. The PCCB brakes are different within each model group.

You don't get a choice with the Sunroof, it comes with the 997 GT3. Clubsport I will agree... the PCCB's are just an expensive option that probably will help with resale because most people think they are great. (I think they wear too quickly if you take it to the track as much as I do, just my opinion and trying to share my experience. As I said, I have put over 4500 track miles on my GT3 last summer, 6600 miles total. 3 sets of tires, and 4 sets of brake pads...)

and tell him you are interested in getting a brake setup like mine. They are an authorised dealer for these rotors now.
