1) Can we fit PCCB on a Cayman non-S assuming that wheel rim size is OK? In the brochure it is stated that a Cayman non-S cannot be fitted with a PCCB, but I believe that it might be marketing BS.
2) What is the difference in the braking subsystem between the stock Cayman and stock Cayman S, besides the different front brake rotor size? Are the following the same part and same size:
a) master brake cylinder
b) brake hoses
c) front and rear 4-pot calipers
d) Brake pads
Thanks !
An interesting thought, PCCB upgrade on a Cayman.
Assuming that this has to be done without Porsche's blessing (ie not via new car order option, but by ordering parts after), wouldn't this be a VERY expensive thing to do? Rotors alone are $5,000+ USD EACH. But *can* it be done? I'm sure anything can be done at the right price.

To fit it on the Cayman S in the factory, because my country taxes cars, would cost me US$21,000 extra.
To fit it aftermarket, buying the PCCB set and fitting it after the car is delivered to Singapore, it costs only US$8,000+ since car parts are not taxed.
An obvious decision, don't you think?
You may want to read this FAQ before you decided.

Where can you buy a complete PCCB set (separate from the car) for US$8000? Last I heard, it was $20K+ for a set of rotors only. Did the prices drop?

Isn't the price here:

You have to buy the car with the PCCBs to get that price (approx US$8K). The FAQ states that *each* rotor is US$5000+ so buying the PCCB parts is probably going to cost more than the tax you're going to incur for the car.
Btw, off topic but do you see a lot of Caymans in Singapore?
-jay
caymanjay is correct - the price for the option while ordering the car is about $8,100 USD, but buying the parts is WAY more expensive. The rotors by themselves are actually $6k each last time I checked - that's $24k USD before anything else (calipers, lines, pads, etc.).
AFAIK, the PCCBs will not fit straight-up on the 2.7 Cayman - I believe you need to get different spindles to handle the bigger brakes and their mounting points. they are not available as an option on the 2.7 Cayman as far as I know.

caySman, you are better of talking to one of the tuners in SG about Brembo or other aftermarket kits.
