Will let everyone know. Some of the solution I've mentioned is in final stages of testing.

I think I remember seeing you post on Corvette Forum... I used to have a C5 Z06 and later a C6 Z06.
The corvettes have far more adjustability with the suspension than with a 991 Turbo, not to mention fitting a 305 tire in front!!. I can see where you are coming from in that regard.
Are you looking at the camber plates from Elephant Racing?

I made up for this a couple of hours later with a 2:02.78!

Yes, greetings, had a heavily modded C6Z06. Now ZR1, but the 991.1 TS for next season Haven't spoken with the shop about brand on plates yet, will pass the word once this all comes together.

With the GiroDisc rotors installed on a 991 Turbo S, what is the best track pad to complement that rotor? Would it be the Pagid RSC1 or is there a better pad out there for a street/track setup?

Pagid RSC1 is designed to be used with carbon ceramic rotors only, not steel. Check out RSL1

The Giro has a smaller swept area also so you'll want a pad sized correctly too for optimal use with the Giro's.

I think Girodisks are an exact replica of the PCCB rotor, including the swept area. The calipers are not changed, and the pad size is not changed. Check with Sharkwerks...Alex can tell you for sure.

Correct, the Girodiscs are a DIRECT replacement for the PCCB's on the Turbo S and the same size hence the swept area is the same, will NOT need a smaller brake pad.
Anyone here with a 991 Turbo S and Girodiscs able to advise on which pads to use, here is the rotor under consideration:

Thank you!

Sorry but it IS correct that the swept area is smaller assuming you are talking about OEM CCBs vs iron Giros. Not that it makes a difference. They use more space for the hat to lighten the rotor. The irons run cooler which is nice too because they can dissipate more heat. Yes the swap is OEM direct with no caliper or pad size change. Giro makes a nice solution, contact them for details if you need more. They are only 1.5 hrs away from me and have done some nice solutions for other cars too. Have a friend who worked with them on a new C7 Corvette solution that turned out well.

Its surprising to see that no one has upgraded front LCAs, rear toe links or gotten rid of some rubber bushings while keeping the car streetable. Next level some clubsport coilovers with the camber plates.

Anyone running 19" wheels with semi slicks or full slicks?

Front -1.9, Rear -2.3
also had them install upgraded turbos.

The benefits for the TTS are minimal, and few aftermarket parts for 991 TTS suspension. The front rotors on the Turbos are so big that 19" wheels will not fit without a full brake swap first, so no slicks will fit the 20" wheels that I can find.
