Default MovIt Carbon Silicon Carbide Rotors as PCCB Replacement?

I have been working with MovIt for eight months now on a PCCB replacement brake system for my Boxster Spyder and GT3RS/GT2RS. 2RS and 3RS share identical rotors/hats/calipers/pads. The OE PCCB rotors as most of you know will die an expensive death when vigorously tracked more than 10-15 times.

The Spyder system (calipers/braided lines/rotors) was installed in December and so far with street driving has been rock solid. The GT3RS system development has dragged on interminably but as a stop-gap MovIt provided me with a set of GenII CSC rotors to expiriment with and hammer on.

I installed the MovIt rotors on the 2RS and this week was able to put two track days on them and I showed no mercy when braking. Compared to OE PCCB, the pedal was rock solid even under the most severe braking conditions (repeated high speed threshold braking). Modulation with the MovIt's was much improved vs the PCCB.

The nice thing is they bite well when cold or hot. P50 Greens are dangerous to run on the street and take 2-3 laps to warm up and bite well. OE P40's on a OE system are a bit hard to modulate when cold and I can make them fade a bit when very hot.

The MovIt CSC's had consistent bite hot or cold.

While two days is not much, it was a 620hp car and the MovIt's so far look look pristine. Weight difference vs PCCB is .7lb greater per rotor, or + 2.79 lbs for all four. A weight trade-off I am more than happy to make for rotors that have a claimed lifetime of essentially forever.

I will update this thread as my testing progresses. So far, I am very happy with them. In the USA MovIt brakes are distributed by Tom Frederico email:Tom@TFEnt.com

As I understand it, rotor replacements are available now but the full system for GT3 is still in development. Billet calipers will eliminate the bevel pad wear we all know an hate and also result in a firmer pedal under severe conditions.
