Anyone get new brakes?

[od253]

I’m interested in upgrading to the 21” mission e wheels. I don’t think my Taycan (2024 GTS)
has the required breaks (pscb/pccb). Does anyone know if I can order the breaks separately from Porsche and how much it will cost? Or if it’ll even be worth my time? Anyone gone through this process?

You dont really require a brake upgrade if you want the 21" mission-e wheels ... Porsche just forced the upgrade on you when ordering a new car with mission-e wheels, probably because they think the design of the mission-e would show too much of the rotor ... and that doesnt look pretty when its rusted

Unless you really want those brakes for their looks, save yourself a bunch of $$$ and only do the wheels but skip the brakes.

This is not a necessity …. The consensus is that this is purely a cosmetic matter, I and many others have fitted 21” mission Es to the standard red calipers and they look great (IMHO)….

See thread (there are many others)

If you're into BBKs like I am the standard rotors do look small behind the .1 Mission Es. I even think the PSCB rear rotors look small with Mission Es. The fronts aren't as bad...until you see a Taycan with PCCBs. It's a shame Porsche dropped the 10piston font calipers.

You’re a golden customer for unnecessary high-end costly extras )

Just put the wheels and that’s it

You're looking at $7K for rotors and pads, maybe $4K for calipers, and of course some technician time to reprogram the car from standard brakes to PSCB. In other words around $12K, aka way too much money.
Yes, the PSCBs look awesome, and not having dust on your Mission-e rims is an absolute joy, but I don't think it's worth upgrading an existing car with them. They are an expensive $3,500 GTS option at build time, worth it to many but not all buyers, but as a $12K upgrade? No way!

My 2020 CPO Taycan was originally optioned with the Mission E wheels but the build sheet doesn't mention anything about Porsche Surface Coated Brakes much less Ceramic Composite Brakes. Is it a certainty that every Taycan w/Mission E wheels has PSCB? or PCCB?
