Hi All, can anyone recommend a Charlotte NC shop for a PPI on a 2nd gen Cayenne Turbo in Charlotte NC? Also related, can anyone vouch for Formula Imports (dealer ) in Charlotte?
Thanks!

An additional related question, has anybody used racingbrake.com rotors, etc.? It appears they have carbon rotors that are a bolt on replacement for $$$$$ OEM PCCB rotors. It so happens that 2 Cayenne Turbos I'm considering BOTH have PCCB brakes.

check and see if Sonderwerks in Cornelius NC does them, not sure. I talked to the people from formula Imports, they were in HHI for the concours , i was asking about keyfob for Maserati, and talked to a service person but i am not sure what their policy is for doing the PPI's but im sure they are capable.

I’ve had no complaints with r1concepts.com for brakes. I had big red brembos on my old Jeep srt and my current Audi s4. Parts fit well and perform close to stock, they sell all the clips and brake wear sensors too.

Thanks All for the replies. I think I'm going to punt on this Cayenne TT and another in GA due to PCCB brakes. Just too damn $$$$$ for replacement carbon rotors. Only 2 aftermarket carbon rotor options I found were $11,000+ and up for a set of 4. OEM is $17,000 for the front rotor pair at Suncoast Porsche. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/new_shocked.gif)

This article illustrates what the dealers who are trying to sell these Cayenne TT's with PCCB's are up against. The GA dealer was practically begging me to buy it...

Still looking for a Cayenne S or Turbo for the wife. Any leads on a nice 2008-2014 S or 2008-2018 Turbo would be appreciated. Side note: avoid Mich's Foreign Cars in Hickory NC. Had a PPI done on a 2013 S they had and discovered a leaking rear main seal (RMS) along with other issues. When I told them I was going to pass on it because of the leaking RMS, they replied "... oh, our service manager just replaced that..." PPI shop (Justin Conley / Conley Motorsports) told me that he's had to clean up some of their service boo-boos in the past.
