Default Darn, lost my rear rotors

I don't know how........but I lost my new rear rotors and am in need of new ones. Does anyone have a good set at a decent price for a 87 951?

ROFL... did you move recently? Impressive skills those rotors have... soon as you buy a new set they'll magically reappear!

lol... I was pretty sure I left em on my work bench when I bought them over a year ago. The front rotors are still there but rear ones have vanished. I'd like to buy new ones again, but the p-car fund is empty!

and van is right.. I think paper would be more effective then my rear rotors

I think it must be a Porsche parts phenomenon. My interior is gutted and I bagged and tagged everything, but now that I'm putting it back together, it seems that I'm missing a whole box of parts - and I haven't moved!

I think you should look harder... you know, they dont just get up and walk away.

According to Murphy's law, section 3a, The lost rotors will appear only after you purchase and install the new ones.

You wont be too happy when they show up again

When I was a child I played with Lego's and I can remember numerous times I would be looking for one specific piece and would search for hours only to realize that I had the piece in my mouth like a cigarette.

Did you check your mouth?

Did you recently park the car in any bad areas? Atleast they left the wheels.

If I was driving and saw your avatar I think I'd end up parking my car in muddy water.

you guys are too good.

I know they will come up as soon as I buy new ones, but I turned this garage upside down looking for them... I even found a set of rotors for my old honda accord! What gets me is why I would move the rears and not keep the fronts with em.

Either way I figure it wouldn't be a bad idea to get another set as I plan on keeping this car for a long time (knock on wood) and hopefully will need to replace them again.

jmj951 that is an awesome avatar photo! Do you have a bigger shot?
