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.

While these brakes are probably nice, what is the cost of replacing rotors and pads?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I probably should have checked the 911BBS board first. I'm doing some preliminary research on 997s, and is a car I'd like to get into next. Cars with the M450 Ceramic brakes seemed to have come along with other nice options such as sport chrono, sport seats, and full leather. While these brakes are probably nice, what is the cost of replacing rotors and pads? The M450 option was expensive when new ($8K). Is it equally as expensive once they require replacement? Do they really go to 100k miles before requiring replacement? I've seen some posts where GT3 brakes were replaced with steel brakes. Has anyone done this with a 997? What is the cost, part numbers etc... I also noticed on Pelican, I didn't see any replacement PCCB discs listed "Not for cars with M450"

POST 2Original post

Have a look here: Ceramic Brakes (PCCB): Porsche Parts & Porsche Accessories - Wholesale Porsche Parts & Tequipment - Cayman Panamera Cayenn Rotors are deadly expensive. PCCB delete kit at $1475.00 the same page as above. No experience with PCCB from me.

POST 3Original post

My 05 997S has 45K miles and the pads are half worn from new. The pads cost more than regular brakes but I don't believe they are terribly expensive, and they really do last up to 100K miles. They are awesome brakes. The really expensive parts are the rotors but they shouldn't ever need replacement.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
