Yet another brake swap...

If you have the ceramic rotors on hand with calipers, I can mock them up on any of the spindles. Would be a cheaper alternative to mock up ZR1 brakes. The extra cash would still pay for an LS7....

Thanks I will start looking. I have seen as low as $4K on RL for racers who remove the PCCB's. The ZR1/Z06 and New Z28 option is intriguing.

I recently became a dealer for fusion brakes (fusionbrakes.com) to have an alternative to buying rotors from the dealer. Quite a bit cheaper and should be a better product. I haven't run then yet, but they sound promising. I know other people that have. I am planning on a set for our shop 991 gt3 and GTR, possibly a customer's 997. PM me if you are interested and I can get you some more info and pricing. There are a few options for rotor sizing. And ceramic rotors are pretty fragile, so running used discs sometimes makes me a little nervous, although I have done 1 conversion with used parts and it went OK.

Some final pictures:
Behind the 993 Turbo hollow spoke...
This shot looks down between the caliper and a spoke of the rim to show the space between the back of the rim and the face of the caliper (bottle cap for scale).

Someone asked about Big Blacks on these rotors. I'm not 100% sure on their pad depths matching the 62mm Cayenne rotor sweep but they could still work. I did build some adapters to put on "Bigger Blacks" from a 2008 Audi on these Cayenne rotors and 87-up NA spindles hubs. Monster stopping power there too.

This all looks great, but I would compel anyone who seriously uses their 951 on track to use the beefier '87+ spindles . . . . I have seen the smaller '86 spindles break on track (not mine, luckily) and it's not pretty.
Be sure to have any used spindles magnfluxed before committing to any expensive modifications and/or track use!

86T spindles/hubs are the ones to worry about. Snapped one myself many moons ago but still fresh on the memory. I made a few more of the Audi caliper adapters this weekend that also use the Cayenne rotors. PM if interested.
