Hi Steve, just been reading your thread so a bit late as you have made your decision, anyway for what it’s worth.
I had the PCCBs on my Macan GTS and they were brilliant, the new 2019 Macan 2.0 I have now came with standard brakes, I had no choice as it was pre configured. After 22000 miles on the GTS there was absolutely no discernible wear on the discs with no "lip” felt on the outer edge of the discs compared to my new Macan which after 7500 miles I can feel a "lip”. As for stopping power, there is no comparison, much less effort required and no noise whatsoever. I have PCCBs on my 991.2 C4 GTS again no wear at all after 15k miles and regret not putting them on Julie’s 718. Yes they are an expensive option but in my opinion well worth it with the added bonus of staying clean and as for replacement I was told, and based on my experience of two cars, I believe that I will get well,over 100k miles before the discs needed replacing. Mind you it would be a miracle if keep the car for that long?? As for the cost, back in 2015 when I ordered my Macan GTS the OPC quoted the replacement pads for the ceramic discs at £850 for a full set, but complete with disc rotors £14k. A full set of steel discs and pads £1458. if I ever replace my C4 GTS I will go for PCCBs again without any hesitation. Just to add I don’t understand why people go on about only needed for track use if you want effortless superior braking power on road for a heavy SUV then PCCB is the answer.
