Why don't you put stock brakes on it, that should fix your problem.

It's true. It's is an old Etruscan word.

Now that the truth is out the "what does it mean" thread needs updating

I wish it was that easy! The PCCB calipers/rotors are not the problem. Grand Am had the same issue with non-PCCB brakes.

My friend that used to work at a Porsche dealership thinks it would fix the problem. The PCCB system has different size brake lines, master cylinder, ABS programing etc. By changing just the calipers and using steel rotors you are in a no man's land between stock brakes and a full on ceramic brake system.

Pete- Thanks for looking in to it. When we did conversion we replaced the calipers, rotors, pads, knuckles, master cylinder, brake lines (only difference is the small piece which comes off caliper). ABS we did not replace, but when talking with Suncoast who sells the kit (plus I dug thru the PET to verify all the parts), tdid not see a different part number. Only other thing we saw was there is a different brake booster for a C4 and C4 with I450(PCCB option), but for a C2, same booster regardless of I450 option. In the PIWIS you can set what type of brakes it has (steel or PCCB), so maybe that adjusts the ABS? We tried both settings with no luck.

OK, I thought you just replaced rotors and calipers. Good luck.

Since I had no vid from the races, here's one from last weekend at Summit Point. Was nice driving it at a track where i have thousands of miles vs just a couple hours. Was able to feel out the car better. We did some adjustments to the shocks over the weekends, but in the end went back to original settings. May still need to soften front bar one notch, but will see. On older tires, handles perfects, on stickers, has slightly more push. going to see at what point in the tire life the push disappears before I change the bar. Still messing with the brakes and video system setup.

Best lap of the weekend was a 120.5 running the same tires from Sebring. Beats the class record by about 1.2 seconds. Can't wait to try stickers in the cooler weather in Oct for the race. Fastest laps in the video are the last two. 121.5, 121.1. Both had trafffic at T9-T10 and had to take T10 on the inside, otherwise both would have been mid 1:20s also.
