From this trend
Here are some more pics of the updated PCCB kit on our new 2010 997.2 GT3 and the center lock wheels and hubs.
The new center lock wheels take a special socket, and a realllllllllly long torque wrench that can do over 500NM without twisting.
Really nice brakes, but......as we found and others have found as well on the prior 997 PCCB setups, not optimal for HEAVY track use...so, OFF they come.
No stinking PCCBs on our track car.
Anyone wanting a brand new set of PCCBs (rotors, calipers, pads, front and rear, from a 2010 GT3, let us know...PM us...but will ONLY work on another new GT3 currently).
You really need to play w one of these PCCB rotors though...w a rotor of this size, you expect the thing to weigh a lot, and you prep your hand and arm as you go to pick it up, and then you pick it up, and almost throw it thru the roof of the room you're in its so light.
A close look at the rotor also shows why they're not optimal YET for track use/abuse. Oh well....off they come (and we will post the weights of this setup vs the new one being put on the car).

Personally I love the yellow calipers and red wheels look. Not to mention one of the benefits (though superficial, but real) from PCCB's is the lack of brake dust. Those red wheels will quickly get dirty with the iron options.
If you were going to do heavy tracking; I'd say pass on the PCCB's. But considering (from what I've read on you LOL) you have a serious car affliction; you'll trade out /sell the GT3RS later on down the road. PCCB's are nice and add a little value to the car. Not to mention I LOVE the brake feel with the PCCBs.
Other then that I cast my vote for the Grey/Red combo.
Cheers to you!

Jas the specs look awesome I am just not sure You need a Nav and the Hi end sound system as this is one car I dont mind getting lost in for few days and the sound of the GT3 is what I would love to hear when I am driving

Jaber, you're right in that the best music is behind your ears ! A good friend thought the nav would look like an outdated TV in 20 yrs ! I like the functionality enough to keep it though.
Now, when are you going to post some pics my friend
