Question to all US customers who got allocations in the first batch of cars. Did your freeze date and estimated arrival date get pushed back?

A bit miffed but not really stressed about it. Went with black calipers and may get ST discs at a later date when the first set of steels are dusted.
I may also go with black standard caliper. May I ask if ST rotors work with standard caliper? Or do I need some longer bolts or spacers for at rotors?

rotors are same dimensions as OEM so I assume they will work with OEM calipers unless the hats differ... which would make little sense for an "OEM alternative replacement" product

Thanks, but I search their website, for 992GT3 only one set of rotors available, both for pccb replacement and steel upgrade, so I assume they are 410/390 front/rear, while standard rotors are 408/380 mm.

They do work with the standard caliper. I did the upgrade from standard steel on my spyder. they provide a kit to modify the caliper position to cater for the extra rotor diameter. it's pretty straight forward. they also provide a replacement brake line for the rear rotor.
It's a fairly straight forward job. And didn't have any issues. I recommend it because the brake dust situation which is massively improved in addition to a much better compliance and agility of the car due to reduction of the unsprung mass.

Thanks, sounds really a great solution.

Similar situations here, the original first batch allocations were June, now pushed back to July.

No I was told I can't option PCCB. Maybe since I had an early build?
