Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suspect you're likely to find the STs a fair bit more than £6k for a set of 4 even if the 6gt3 rotors being smaller are likely a bit cheaper than the 997s....

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, Just wondered if anyone has any experience or opinion on the following; The old pccbs came with the car (boxed up as it's on steels front, pccbs rear) and I've seen that rebrake will refurbish them for around 2k per disc (they look OK, no obvious chips/damages etc) Or Surface transformations ccbs as they now come in 996 gt3 size it would appear. I'm not sure what the cost is but I imagine it'll be circa 6k What would you do? Oh and the steels are starting to lip hence why I'm looking at ccbs. Thanks

But tbh at £2k to refurbish from rebrake the existing OEM ones, I'd just plonk down the difference for the surface transforms.

POST 3Original post

Surface transform charged £2500 to skim and re-condition all four Surface Transform discs on my GT4 ... and said that at my wear rate they would re-skim at least another four or five times. A brand new set of ST discs for a GT4 is now around £12000 with all their advantages ... so I wouldn't spend £8000 on refurbishing any set of PCCB's ... Edited by ChrisW. on Thursday 27th July 19:17

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Apologies, its just the fronts that need refurbish or replacing. The rears are all good still at around 45k miles. I understand that the 996 had more front bias braking set up with the rears doing minimal work
