PSCB Brakes

[Juanted]

worth it? I have to lock down my build within a couple weeks. Switching back and forth between eMission wheels (which require PSCB) and RS Spyder Wheels, which obviously do not require it. Love eMission wheels, but, man that additional $3500 or $4400 bucks for PSCB just burns me. Thoughts?

I'd humbly suggest let the wheels be your guide - get the wheels you want and let the brakes follow…

Yes!!! It was a no brainer for me - I wanted the Mission E's and bit the bullet and would do it all over again. When I was vacillating back and forth my son says.....................Dad................adding the Mission E's/PSCB adds about 4% to the price of your car............why would you hold back on getting what you want? Smart kid!

Great point!

I LOVE my mission E wheels. Completely worth it IMO. They are just so pretty and unique to look at!

zero brake dust. ZERO

This, plus they are great brakes. And you get one of the best wheels Porsche has ever offered.

The Mission E with PSCB are really easy to clean. The easiest I have ever had on a car.

Mission E. Gotta do it.
Brakes are a nice added plus.
The wheels are the bomb.

No brake dust to clean on a daily basis is worth it for me. I'll only spec this in the future.

PSCB rotors are $6300 per set and there is no aftermarket alternative. It's likely they'll last a long time due to the reliance on regen, however after a certain number of years they have to be replaced per Porsche spec.

if you care about this, get the standard brakes. if you don't, get the PSCB. they're better than the standard brakes in every way except for some very minor squeal that occurs sometimes.

that's pretty much the answer.

‘In every respect’? What’s the difference in stopping difference between the PSCB and the standard brakes? What’s the weight saving difference?

There’s definitely an advantage from a (lack of) corrosion perspective, but in a vehicle where for 90% of the time, the physical discs are not used, it’s a lot to pay for clean wheels!

They will be heavier because they are bigger and in an emergency stop the standard brakes are capable of reaching the tyre grip so the braking will be the same for a single stop, how different they are for fade on a track day or going down a mountain pass I don't know but the big benefit is certainly cosmetic rather than performance.

Exactly. Hence the ‘in every respect’ is somewhat wide of the mark!

You used to clean your wheels on a daily basis?

A decent coating on the wheels means that a quick spray with a pressure washer on a weekly basis is normally sufficient to keep the wheels looking like new!
