Default Help finding Front Brake Rotors

I'm looking for front rotors for my 2001 cup car.
I "think" it has 350x34 the best I can tell. (but it could be +-10 mm because I didn't measure them too accurately)
I need rotors ASAP. Unfortunately I had just got some very expensive ones from Alcon. Apparently they cross referenced them with my existing AP rotors and sent me 380s. They look much bigger, so I'm pretty sure they are incorrect. I also think they are exceptionally expensive, so I may send them back..

So I have a few questions
1) Anyone have rotors they want to sell me?
2) If I'm looking for something more cost effective long term, what should I use?
3) If I'm looking for the cheapest thing to get me through a few weekends, what could I use?
4) Is there anything more accessible or quicker to get that would work? Say a GT3 street car or Cayenne rotor or something like that?

Personally used 20 of these sets and they are i think best value for money.
Have not checked their US site for this product.

I noticed on one of the parts lists for rotors I found a cup car 350 x 33 I thought that 33 was odd.. Anyone know why a 33 instead of a 34?

The 33mm thickness enables you to run thicker pads. PFC real deal slotted rotors are
32mm thick.

The AP rotors that were made for the bigger brakes on the 02-up 996 Cup were 360mm. Factory Cup rotors are 350mm. Looks like your car has the front brakes updated to the bigger 6 piston calipers and 350mm rotors. Performance Friction makes a slotted rotor that is 350x34. Hats are sold separately. If you are racing the car in PCA GTC3 or plan to, then these will not be legal. You will need to run a factory style rotor.

Porsche Cayenne rotors also will work and slotted are available. You will have to alter the hole for the counter sunk set screw to make it work.

We stock the PF slotted rotor and the correct hats at OG Racing. Give us a call if you have any questions, or shoot me a PM.

Kind regards,

The Alcon setup for your car is a 350x32mm rotor. That 380mm setup you got is the 997 Turbo street car size with the Alcon Superkit. Drop me a PM and I can provide you the info where they are in stock since you are in a hurry.

While not cheap, the rings are individually replaceable and hold up a LOT longer than factory, save about 10# per wheel, and are full floaters.

Here they are on my '01 car.
