Correct me if I'm wrong (and it's likely that i am) but aren't the PCCB brakes prohibitively expensive to maintain when it's time to do the rotors, change the pads etc.? I seem to recall a recent British Porsche publication, the name of which escapes me at present, pointing this out. And does a Boxster REALLY need that kind of stopping power, outside of a dedicated track environment? My 2001 has WAY more brakes than nessecary at the track, lap after lap, no fade or lack of power. Even my previous car didn't have that kind of stoppage!
