2 pad change and PCCB rotors must be replaced?
just read somewhere that PCCB's rotors are only good for 2 pad changes and rotors must be replaced, regardless? Is this Porsche's stance?
I have about 45K miles on mine and changed out the pads about 10K miles ago when the pads got to 50%.

I thought the whole purpose of PCCB's was that they essentially never fade? I've heard so many dealers try and sell them saying you'll ultimately "save the money in the long run" rather than having to pay for pad changes (which only works if you're changing pads all the time from running on the track).

Did the OP take the wheel off and look at the rotor?
Oh, and for PCCB you are supposed to use factory pads specifically for the PCCB only. Using regular pads will destroy them.

The pedal feel of the PCCB was phenomenal, just awesome, compares to the iron rotor on the Turbo.
Everything will fade, it's just a question of how soon. If you can manage a fast group run at the track you are generally very smooth on the inputs, and I would be really surprised if they didn't last.
