Hi Craig - I went to your store to check it out - its a little difficult to follow! Since you are a site sponsor you can let us know how much the rotors cost and maybe a link to some info? I would be interested in a source of quality no holed rotors!

It's been a while but I was sure the 993 offsets didn't work with our cars? We needed the same offset that was on the 964turbo or 928 GTS.
ps I also found the OEM drilled or holed rotors to be cheap but not last. Best thing I've found by far are slotted rotors.

I got two seasons out of my 965 rotors. That's pretty good for me, the stock Turbo S rotors I could only get 1 season out of.

This is just a general note - I don't know what Craig is using for his rotors.
+1 on this. I get 50% more life from "Porsche" rotors (OE, supplied by dealer) than Zimmermann (OEM).

agreed. also can vary rear pad material to manage rear axle lockup. Mike
