I bought a set of Sebros from Pelican earlier this year. It's sounds wierd but I buy them German built parts cheaper from the US than in Sweden....

Nothing wrong with a Sebro rotor. We even run them on our 996 race car!

Cheers

I've tried the ATE, Zimmerman and Sebro (currently)... As well as the original Porsche rotors. For street use I can not tell the difference in performance. The visual aspect is less important to me but the coated ones do look better after a few months.

Default SEBRO rotors, opinions please..

I've had sebro rotors on my car for a few years. They are great. Not expensive and they do exactly what they are supposed to do. Car is a daily driver winter and summer.

Do you have part numbers for rears?
Also, have the coating on the sebro's held up. no colour fade or rust?

I don't know the part numbers. Bought them from pelican a few years back. The coating has held up fine. Like I said, I use the car all winter, salt and all. They've been great and really for the price you can't beat them. If you are worried about the coating, shoot the centers with high temp paint (tape off the brake surface)...but I wouldn't worry about it. All you will ever see in the center is brake dust anyway. With sebro as an option, unless I needed the added cooling of a slotted or drilled rotor, I would just buy them again. I don't do long track sessions, so have never needed more cooling than stock. So for me they are the best choice.

As stated the Zimmerman can be had both ways. I had the non coated and would only go coated from now on.

The ATEs were not I believe, but it was in 2005 on another 911 which never saw rain but once and lived in a humidity controlled space. Had no issues with them.

Bottom line is Sebro is good and taking price into consideration, they are great. For a road car that is.

I just had Sebro rotors installed on the rears a couple of weeks ago - ordered from Pelican. PN: 951-352-041-02-M294 - went with Textar pads for street use (I have 993 calipers) - the combination is very quiet so far.

Has anybody tracked with the Sebro rotors? I need rotors to last 4-6 events until a new GT3 arrives, and would just go with PFC rotors if anybody says they won't work for track use safely.

This is for a 997, not the TTS.
