Thanks for your clarification and courteous response. You are 100% correct about being "super upside down on it" and it's the determining factor as to why I decided to look elsewhere. When I started looking at this truck, I had no idea about how to determine ceramic disc wear and it has been a learning experience that I wanted to share with the rest. I was always hoping that the wear was minimal, or in worst case scenario, to find an alternate solution that would make financial sense. If I had a GT3RS with PCCBs on it I'd be happy to replace them due to the inherent value in that vehicle. Guess I too could search for a lightly used set, but it's kind of complicated for me due to the shipping logistics in case what I receive does not match the description. At the end of the day, too much of a hassle (and expensive one) that is not worth it (for me) given the vehicle in question (958.1 Cayenne Turbo, not a GT car).
Again agree with you on the subject of wear indicators, but I'm going to trust my gut this time around and listen to ReDisc's opinion on the matter. As luck would have it, the local dealership just called me to ask me to come by their service department as they want to speak to me in person about their findings (not really sure why they just didn't send me the results...). I know the discs are not shot and don't require immediate replacement, but I also now know that they are not in "like new state" or have "tons of life left in them" thus a replacement is somewhat imminent during my expected ownership.
Again, the main purpose of the thread is to inform/educate others as this could potentially be a financially ruining experience for others.
