No. Unfortunately PCCBs have never even been mentioned for the 992 T.

Me too. They've been unavailable on several models they were previously available.

Hmm… curious what your plan is on this? I emailed a little with Rick Hinz and he recommended the ST 350mm for me. I understood that kit was still in development though. Or are you looking at the 410/400mm PCCB kit they have now? Color me interested. I always like to do best brakes I can and it did bum me out that the PCCB’s weren’t a box we could check on the T.

I'd be interested in the group buy. Might be for my 991.2 Carrera T.

The T guys are wanting Ceramics and the GT3 guys are taking them off to track. Irony.

Nothing ironic about it. Steels are best for repeated track use if you're not trying to set record times. Ceramics are good for a variety of reasons. My personal interest is to drop ~40lbs of unsprung weight.

My understanding too is that it's still in development. I'd planned to reach out to them with a specific request to keep the discs at 350 or whatever the stock T size is. That size would be just fine for occasional track and I'm personally interested in the lowest weight possible. I care little about bling.

You guys have more options no? Including factory PCCBs.

Around $13k
Factory PCCBs are VERY expensive (I’ve looked into it). Contemplating the factory PCCB calipers and ST rotors.
