PCCB questions....
For all owners with PCCB's, what is the life expectancy of the rotors? I know the option is around 8k, but when looking at a place like Suncoast to replace the rotors it's almost 15k. Will these rotors ever wear? Even with track use? What is everyones thoughts and personal experience?

I have pccbs on my turbo with around 38k miles. Believe it or not I haven't had to change my rotors nor pads yet and thats with plenty of hard driving not necessarily on the track but on the street. I went a few times to the track on a couple of occasions. I was told that it would be a good idea to replace the pads at 50% wear.

That's good to know. I guess it's hard to say with most of these cars, since I would guess most are still relatively lower in mileage. I could see pads having to be replaced, but it would be nice or wishful thinking to hear that the rotors would last for 150k-200k miles!

Do they state what consequences could arise if you don't? Probably has more to do with maintaining optimal performance than a catastrophic failure.

I had PCCB's on 2 GT2's. One I put 5k miles and only replaced the pads. And it had 80% track time. I have had a few friends that had them and tracked a couple times and had to replace the whole deal. My opinion is that they are great and cool on the street. If you plan to track, they are a big NO. Just my .02
