If you found a car you liked

[Steve Tinker]

There was a guy writing in the UK Porsche magazines (911 & Porsche World :Problems Q&A) a couple of months ago who had damaged one of his PCCB rotors just because he had tried to remove the wheel without using the screw in alloy wheel guide supplies with the tool kit. Seems the heavy wheel knocked a small piece out of the leading edge of the rotor.
Something like 4,000 UK pounds to replace IIRC.
The mag suggested replacing with standard steel rotors and calpers.......

Never tracked, as new, beautiful car. The dealer says "we have never replaced a set of PCCB" yeah well IMO that is more likely do to the 16k part cost than lack of need for them to be changed. I'm going to avoid that one, I had an offer accepted today but it got mired in the details, I'm taking one more shot at it in an email to sales, otherwise I'm going to wave off until my down payment is entirely in order.

If and when they need to be replaced, can't you just bolt on a set of standard rotors?

Nice!
Simple logic is often the most beautiful!

Definite merit to the question though, because I think they use different calipers, the yellows look bigger anyway, and if that's the case the steel rotors would need to be the right thickness and diameter and they'd have to make pads for the caliper.

From the company that brings you triple square drain plugs? I sincerely doubt you can just switch rotors without changing the calipers, that car is out. I'm trying to see about finishing the deal I already had going, they seem open to it, I'll know more tomorrow.
