Exploring Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes, Performance and Care
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), sometimes shortened to simply ceramic brakes, have a unique design in the industry. PCCB has innovative fixed calipers coated in yellow aluminum and larger brake discs to maximize braking power. Porsche’s signature ceramic composite brakes are specially designed to max out your stopping power at short distances so you can bring your vehicle to a quick and complete stop.
PCCB are lighter in weight, which reduces the total weight of your Porsche and improves your overall estimated fuel economy. Additionally, the lightweight design gives these brakes a better brake grip for more responsive agility on the road. Many Porsche drivers also find that upgrading to PCCB delivers better ride comfort.
Advantages of Porsche Ceramic Brakes
There are three reasons why drivers adore ceramic or ceramic composite brakes on Porsche vehicles. First, ceramic brakes are exceptionally quiet, which means Porsche vehicles slow down with virtually zero noise when the brakes are applied. Brakes on other vehicles may squeal excessively when brake pads run low.
Secondly, ceramic brakes also tend to have a longer lifespan since they are designed to be more resistant to wear and tear. When ceramic brakes wear down, they produce less residue that can compromise brake performance. Finally, ceramic brakes are an ideal choice for urban and suburban driving since these brakes offer reliable performance.
PCCB Maintenance
Porsche recommends scheduling brake maintenance at your local Porsche Center once every 10,000 miles or at least once a year. During your service appointment, a Porsche technician will inspect the condition of your brake pads, calipers, rotors, and wear sensors. Inspecting your Anti-Lock Braking System is also common at this time.
Every two years, you should visit your Porsche Center to have your brake fluid replaced. Most drivers will need to replace PCCB every 30,000 to 40,000 miles, while brake rotors need to be replaced every 100,000 miles. Some of these maintenance intervals may depend on your driving habits.
Your Porsche’s brake system is one of the reasons your vehicle has such iconic athletic performance. Whether your Porsche comes with ceramic brakes as a standard feature or you upgraded to PCCB to enhance performance, you should schedule routine brake service at your Porsche Center for flawless performance.
