Default Brake Rotors: Porsche vs Sebro

Is there are difference in quality, durability, stopping power between these two options with a significant price difference or are we just paying for the name? I don't want to compromise but is there actually a difference?

I've used both on the street and wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

There may be some scientific or statistical evidence out there, but personally I wouldn't shy away from Sebro rotors.

Thanks. I do a bit of track work tho so don't want to have that "if only" feeling as I go through the boundary fence...

Sebro is often Porsche rotors but in another box so they are just fine.

Very occasionally I use her on the track and never felt like the brakes were a weak point.

The track I've used her on is an F1 track with long straight followed by a hairpin. No issues with the brakes when going from 100 ish mph to 30 as hard as possible.

So I think you'd be good.

I replaced my brake rotors with Zimmermann crossed drilled and vented front rotors and Sebro rear rotors vented last year and i am very happy with the results.
By far this was the best deal I could find when freight was included

I bought it from this supplier but bought through EBay because of the increased buyer protection.
