I signed the repair order bill on a PCNA 2002 GT2 just had rotors & pads replaced : $30,000!

FYI - I saw a repair bill on a 997 GT3 that had a little "incident" I wont go into the details but I saw they replaced both front rotors to the tune of $4666 EACH !!!

to some expensive, to others a real value and a must have......if you are getting 9/10 or higher out of every run might be worth it for the extra little bit, remember its a curve of diminishing returns and exponential higher costs
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.

I've been looking at 997.1 S models and occasionally come across one with ceramic brakes. I've looked at a tone of threads regarding ceramic brakes, but the majority seem to be when they were first offered as options on the 996 GT3.
Now, nearly 7 years later I am wondering, if P-car owners are still "in love" with their ceramic brakes or wish they had stayed with good 'ol fashioned steel brakes?
There are many smart people on this forum with a ton of experience and aside from the obvious benefits of less unsprung weight and most likely less fade on the track have owners been happy with their decision? Has the cost been worth it? And speaking of which, what has the lifespan of ceramic brakes been? - (for cars predominantly being driven on the street with occasional track days)
I'm a huge fan of good brakes, have always loved Porsche Brakes and am debating whether or not to get ceramic brakes.....
Hopefully there are plenty of guys out there that have owned cars for many years with these brakes and can give me some words of advice. Thanks so much,

Great performance and less fade under severe use. Unbelievably expensive to repair/replace!! For the average owner/driver of dubious value due to cost. IMHO

street use they are 10000% more than what is needed
Good for racing only and then when someone else is paying the bill!
Or if the "look at me factor" is really important to you and you're thr type that likes to troll for stares.
For the street the stock brakes are more than enough, even for late and pretty intense braking. As a former roadracer and one that occasionally likes to drive rather aggressively on the street, when there's no traffic and it's safe to do, I never felt the stock brakes were not enough. Tires and suspension could be improved first.
