As I mentioned earlier, someone looking for a $25K Cayenne prob needs to find one with steel.

I understand and respect your opinion regarding the wear indicators, but this time around I'm going to lean heavily on the opinion of ReDisc (even after they knew I was not going to send the discs to them) as they may (surely do...) have more experience regarding ceramic disc wear on many brands, Porsche just being one of them.
Regarding "someone looking for a $25K Cayenne", rest assured it's a self-imposed budget and definitely not indicative of anything else.
Anyone who is smart with their money would be wise to avoid any used Cayenne (or any other non limited edition Porsche) with PCCBs as the financial math simply does not add up. One thing is replacing PCCBs on a 958.1 Cayenne, another entirely different matter is replacing them on a Carrera GT.
At the end of the day, this post's main purpose was to inform others about the potential pitfalls of purchasing a 958.1 Cayenne equipped with 410mm front PCCB and document my findings of the journey I just went through. My hope is that someone may find the information useful. Certainly was for me.
