KPV do you know the specs for the factory rotors? I know they are 34mm wide, but are they 345mm? 350?

I'm not sure they will fit with my set up, i'm currious to know if they will, but i'm betting that they will not. But this is a time I would love to be proved wrong.....

Hey, how come it looks like the rotors have big grooves in them?

because they do, these rotors are only temporary, there was something wrong with the casting of these and they did not wear evenly, but they will get the job done of the time being (the car dosn't run yet)....

Jason,

The calipers are the stock 996 TT Calipers, they are the modern monoblock design.

The rotors are custom 2 piece rotors, they have floating rotors and aluminum hats.

Pads, well right now I have a 1/2 worn set of padgid Orange pads in there, i'm not sure what i'm going to run when I replace these rotors. I'm thinking that i'll have two sets of pads, something for the street, and then something a bit more aggressive for the track.....

But who knows, the budget is dry right now, so i'll run what I have for the rest of this summer.....
