992 GTS - PCCB upgrade or na?

>> The yellow paint is a big draw for many. Cars and coffee, etc.
Pretty much neatly sums up Porsche ownership these days: $9k for yellow paint and less dust, and people are impressed by it, meh. ‘Back in the day’ red calipers meant something too…

I have no complaints with the Turbo brakes on my GTS. They’re excellent and standard.

The stock GTS brakes are excellent. I’m sure PCCBs are better, but are they $9k to you? They were on stop sale when I built my GTS, so I didn’t have a choice.

I hear a lot of people complaining of brake squeak with PCCB brakes. I have never optioned them because I don't track my car and the standard brakes are great. But I have heard many drivers at clubs complain that the PCCB brakes squeak a lot and take a lot to warm up.

Less dust? Try zero. And coming from PCCB 991 --> BMW M2 Competition ---> PCCB 992. The dust alone is worth it. The F87 might be the dustiest car in history.

Well, it’s what, $9,000 now or about $30,000 just for the parts if you want to retrofit - if you think you may want them, just get them now.
I wouldn’t buy a Porsche without them, but that is purely me. For road-going, it’s not a huge difference but I prefer the feel and somehow manage to justify the lack of brake dust being worth the price.

The 992 Turbo and GTS with iron brakes run 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers (408/380mm discs). These are the same calipers the GT4s use as well and take the same pad shapes. 992 Turbo S models with PCCB use 10-piston front calipers with 420mm discs, along with 4-piston rears with 390mm rear discs. The rear calipers are again the same.
The PCCB stop sale has affected many GTS owners who wanted ceramics. Our Surface Transforms 992 GTS Iron Upgrade kits have been very popular. Brake dust aversion is very real, and many customers are willing to go to great lengths to mitigate it. Works with your factory calipers and drops like 50 lbs off your car. That said, you aren't just eliminating weight, noise, and dust, you are getting discs that last forever and a true dual-use pad that offers excellent bite, feel, and modulation over the factory iron pads. 410mm front and 400mm rear discs with RSC1 pads.

The steel fronts are Turbo six pots. Steel brakes are super. PCCB offers no rust on rotors and no dust on wheels. Lower unsprung weight not a factor unless you're splitting hairs on track performance.
