Re: MovIt Carbon Silicon Carbide Rotors as PCCB Replacement?
Good info trackrat.
Thanks for the update. Still such a pricey option. I converted to steel on my 11 rs. I will be at road america this weekend to see the difference. Not sure what to expect. |

Hey, we met Stuelly today.
Great group of guys, but they forgot to bring beer to the track and we ran out of alcohol.. We must be circeling at the opposit side of the track because I have not seen many RS around me yet. |
Re: MovIt Carbon Silicon Carbide Rotors as PCCB Replacement?
My Carrera GT PCCB rotors are starting to look pretty crappy and the pads make a scuffing noise when I apply the brakes in situations that are quiet enough to hear them. My Porsche dealer says I might get a few more track events out of them, but they are showing surface de-lamination and won't last forever. This is somewhat off-putting since the parts quote is circa $22,000 for 4 rotors, then it is PLUS installation.
I have been having an e-mail conversation with Mov'It USA and it seems they have a GT2/GT3RS-based solution that includes rotors, calipers, pads and a special emergency brake caliper for the rear to fit the Carrera GT. Their price is North of the OEM rotor replacement, but not too much for their whole caboodle. My question for any users of Mov'It ceramic brake systems is how they feel and respond on the street. Do they behave in a normal way, or would you who have them only recommend them for the track? |

Once the pads are bedded, it feels great on the street. As good or better than OE PCCB. I have them on Spyder and GT3RS and love them. Wet/dry/track/street- all excellent. Caution: Do not ever use the P50 Green PCCB pads with the MovIt rotors! Terrible brake feel. P50's are bad for street for OE PCCB as well and I would personally never use them on any PCCB system for any situation, even tracking (and I have 4-5 P50 sets used under my belt). |

I'm going to a 918 event in Weissach in a few weeks and I'll try my best to coax some more brake info out of their engineers. |

During our tour of the Weissach work shops I cornered a high-up chassis development engineer and asked him if the 918 PCCB brakes were going to be more durable than the ones on the Carrera GT. He had a quizzical look on his face so I told him about my track experiences. When we were absolutely out of earshot of anyone else he said that even though PCCB is probably a "forever" rotor on the street, they are wear parts on the track. I just ordered Mov'It rotors for my Carrera GT. |
