Dreaded Dealership visit; PCCB brake caliper??

Hello,

Ended up with a "Check Engine - Visit Workshop" light. As the car was running rough and it was wet; almost assumed it might be a coil pack issue. The car has 65k miles and to my knowledge the original coil packs are still on the car; '06 3.8 X51. We decided on all coil packs and spark plugs. Later on the lift a corroded brake pipe was identified. As the bleed screws on the calipers are seized they are wanting me to comment to a charge of £2400 for the work, just in case they twist off a bleed nipple / screw. I almost understand this. As I have done more brake jobs than I can count on my hands I told them no. Question is; .... are the PCCB calipers the same as non-PCCB equipped cars? I know the discs are insanely expensive, but surely the calipers are not or are they? Meanwhile the car is drives great. Hence it is something I can get into later. Actually the OPC Porsche Aberdeen has been very forthcoming, fair and good to deal with.
 
They are the same, just spaced differently for the different sized PCCB rotors. Give it to an Indy to do Or do it yourself?
