You can find expen$ive billet ones, but used is the way to go.

Hi Sean,

There is a gentleman in Finland who made some billet ones last year to accommodate some special brake rotors onto his 911. I don't know if he was going to make standard replacements or not.

Here is his website: http://9xx-parts.com/store/index.php?route=common/home

I'd send him an e-mail to see if he plans on making standard 911 hubs as there certainly is a market for them, now that PAG discontinued OEM replacements.

i've got vibration under hard braking (at track). have checked everything else (i think). have new 930 calipers, rotors, pads, bearings. they are slightly bent (top end of tolerance).
