Hate to bring this back from the dead but what is the difference weight between the ST transforms and stock PCCB's for the 991 GT3/RS?

Not much, I measured about 100grams per rotor... It's the lower running temps, alternative pads, reconditioning, and more robust to chips, cracks, road debris that's amazing.

So there is a plug and play solution for those of us RS guys with steel brakes?

Plug&Play. They installed mine in 1 hour at the track.

Awesome news. Were you coming from steel or PCCB? Pad swap too?

And Touring kids


Touring with ST rotors

Absolutely amazing, perfect stopping, no squeal, lighter weight & low/no dust. Lifetime brakes, certainly if street driven.
Reused the steel calipers (they are the same size and cover the same swept area as the yellow calipers) with longer bolts and spacers to allow for the larger diameter discs, easy as.

i did both RS a steel—> ST.
Pads as well, I run RSL Pagids. Pads last about 50% longer as well compared to same track, same pads but steel rotors..

That's great to hear! I swapped out the ceramic brakes on my 720 for AP racing steel last year. I don't feel like I gave up any performance on the track, but I hate the brake dust on the brushed clear rims for the street. I have a 3RS inbound next week that already has ST brakes and look forward to seeing how these perform. I'll make sure to get the RSL Pagids as well.

Single strand too rather than chopper cut

Howdy Autoquest, a few questions. Are these meant to be run with the OEM pccb pads? Secondly if there is a ST Rotors specific pad I assume they can be run on the OEM PCCB rotors as well?

My second question leads me to ask if you sold an OEM equivalent pad that did NOT dust. I'm not quite in need of your rotor for my PCCB on my panamera or gt3 (yet...gt3 probably next season) however my new panamera has the newer pad compound that doesn't have copper. Porsche no longer makes the older pads for any of the model lineup with copper in them and I have all this pad dust in my barrels and it's driving me nuts. If they make pads that don't dust there are a lot of 992 GT3 owners who would probably be jumping at a new pad alternative that doesn't dust.
