Rebrake refurbished pccbs or St ccbs for 996 gt3

[Ducktales]

Hi all,

Just wondered if anyone has any experience or opinion on the following;
The old pccbs came with the car (boxed up as it's on steels front, pccbs rear) and I've seen that rebrake will refurbish them for around 2k per disc (they look OK, no obvious chips/damages etc)

Or

Surface transformations ccbs as they now come in 996 gt3 size it would appear. I'm not sure what the cost is but I imagine it'll be circa 6k

What would you do?

Oh and the steels are starting to lip hence why I'm looking at ccbs.

Thanks

Surface transform charged £2500 to skim and re-condition all four Surface Transform discs on my GT4 ... and said that at my wear rate they would re-skim at least another four or five times.

A brand new set of ST discs for a GT4 is now around £12000 with all their advantages ... so I wouldn't spend £8000 on refurbishing any set of PCCB's ...

Suspect you're likely to find the STs a fair bit more than £6k for a set of 4 even if the 6gt3 rotors being smaller are likely a bit cheaper than the 997s....

But tbh at £2k to refurbish from rebrake the existing OEM ones, I'd just plonk down the difference for the surface transforms.

Apologies, its just the fronts that need refurbish or replacing. The rears are all good still at around 45k miles.

I understand that the 996 had more front bias braking set up with the rears doing minimal work
