Having talked to some people who expressed being disappointed with Porsche P.C.C.B. (noting Ferrari owners with similar problems on cost, performance and wear), has anyone any experience with System ST ( www.systemst.com ) ? They claim to have improved performance, lower cost and better wear characterstics on CFRC Carbon Ceramic Brakes than the OEM systems on offer, and are working with some OEM's now but offer systems for a number of cars. One they are working with is TVR and have tried the system on the new TVR Sagaris, good write up on their site under news about the TVR tests ( www.systemst.com/news/ ) and TVR sound interested in using System ST. Has anyone here had any experience with carbon ceramic brakes and/or this company Surface Transforms who do the System ST, I would like some feedback if anyone has some, as interested in this System ST use for Porsche.

all the track guys i know that have ceramics (Carrera GT / GT3RS) have all said that they aren't worth the money and have changed back to steels.

they don't last that long either! with the good ducting on the GT3RS steels work fine and have more "feel"

new rotors/pads for GT3 is £7k i think and the GT was £20k+

no ones gonna pay that on a TVR!

just what i've heard in the bar.
