PCCB components wear at about the same rate as the standard steel setup during heavy track use. The high cost of PCCB pad and rotor replacement is a matter of consideration for a small number of Porsche owners. Due to this, Porsche offers a unique steel rotor and a brake pad setup for PCCB-optioned cars, available through the parts department at Porsche dealerships. Owners can then fit this steel setup to their GT3 for track days, helping keep the costs of wear items in check. Again, this setup is for owners who drive their cars very hard at the track and on a regular basis. Most owners do not need to bother with this setup but the option is there for the few that do. It's impressive that Porsche thinks about details like this.

I'd disagree - one of the key benefits of PCCB is unsprung weight reduction, which is more valuable on track. So their offering of steels for track use goes against the engineering behind PCCBs being fitted in the first place.
It looks like Porsche are making a big statement that ceramics are for road use otherwise the steel kit for PCCB cars would not exist.

That is until you ring your OPC and they have no idea what you are talking about and have no such kit to offer!!
