What is it? What are the benefits? Is it worth the money? All thoughts welcome and appreciated

Mainly resists disc corrosion and wear of the pads and discs over time, lasting longer than conventional cast iron discs and staying much cleaner so your wheels won’t be coated in brake dust. Whether that is worth the extra cost is up to you. It depends how hard you drive and use the brakes and how long you plan to keep the car.

Some have expressed concern that, even though the PSCB discs should last longer than the standard ones, they’ll be very much more expensive to replace. A few folks are planning on maybe substituting standard discs for the PSCB ones, when they need replacing.

I’d assume you’d need to do all 4 though if you did that? I would have thought that mixing disk types could cause some odd braking behaviour.Wing Commander wrote: ↑Fri Oct 15, 2021 8:47 am Some have expressed concern that, even though the PSCB discs should last longer than the standard ones, they’ll be very much more expensive to replace.

This is my reasoning for spec’ing the PCCB as I intend on keeping the car for a good length of time (and don’t want to have to incur the cost of replacement)Wing Commander wrote: ↑Fri Oct 15, 2021 8:47 am Some have expressed concern that, even though the PSCB discs should last longer than the standard ones, they’ll be very much more expensive to replace.

Yes, I agree. Could be worse than mixing tyres!.OmniCognateSnr wrote: ↑Fri Oct 15, 2021 8:55 amI’d assume you’d need to do all 4 though if you did that?

Nice. That’ll make your Macan something of a rarity.

Is there any factual evidence on how long they are lasting in normal road use? The coating is tungsten carbide, one of the hardest materials there is so I wouldn’t be surprised if in many cases they last the life of the car. Certainly longer than many owners will have their cars.Wing Commander wrote: ↑Fri Oct 15, 2021 8:47 am Some have expressed concern that, even though the PSCB discs should last longer than the standard ones, they’ll be very much more expensive to replace.

Difficult to find, Porsche’s opinion is 30% longer than standard brakes. I think the coating is something like 0.1mm thick….Nuclear Nick wrote: ↑Fri Oct 15, 2021 9:27 amIs there any factual evidence on how long they are lasting in normal road use?
