Upgrade my 380/380 rotors to 410/390
This is the kit you are looking for. https://racingbrake.com/POR.991.irk.410-390-1
This rotor kit gives you instant BBK so you can upgrade "seamlessly" from your existing GT3 (380/380) rotors to pccb rotor sizes (410/390mm)
Not only you can keep your OE/Brembo calipers*, retain in one factory Brembo system, but can save you some $7-8,000 over Essex/AP iron kit costing $11,000 with smaller rotors (394/380)
Easy parts swap, no need to bleed the system. Kit includes caliper adaptors precisely engineered by RB for a 100% bolt-on installation.
*You may need to upgrade/replace the caliper components (available from RB) like other track racers. Your Red calipers are the same size and construction as pccb Yellow calipers (after installing/RB caliper adaptors) so you can use pccb or other aftermarket pads to greatly increase the thermal capacity.
Front brake pad comparison:
OE Pccb: ~190% of AP
Essex/AP (No wear sensor notch):
Do more research and calculation, Brembo/RB kit or Essex/AP kit - You decide!

I have invited Jeff from Essex Parts to present the advantage of their Essex/AP kit comparing to this kit.

Warren,
Most Porsche owners, especially Rennlist members, are well educated on motorsports brands and as well as the performance products aftermarket companies produce. Most of us have been well aware of AP Racing's motorsport pedigree and Jeff from Essex has done an excellent job of explaining their history, connection with AP Racing and Essex's own motorsport pedigree. I would like you to do the same.
Can you go over your history in the brake industry and also can you tell us what professional race teams are using your products? We are well aware of AP Racing being used in NASCAR, IndyCar, IMSA, Rolex teams, etc. as Jeff mentioned. What forms of motorsports are Racing Brake components used in?

Rear brake pad comparison:
OE pccb: (Lining 122x66) ~122% of AP
Essex/AP (No wear sensor notch): (Lining 132x50)

Are you really trying to compare a standard street brembo caliper to the product offered by AP? One is high end race grade hardware and the other isnt. By going on size alone, you come off as pretty amateurish

This is what Warren does on every single forum. Corvette forum, GTRLife, GTRHeritage, Bimmerpost, Mustang6G, TrackMustangsOnline, Camaro5, Camaro6, I am sure I am missing some. He spams every forum.
He literally invited Jeff in this thread to have a discussion, gave the link to the discussion, Jeff gave one hell of a response and Warren has yet to respond himself: https://rennlist.com/forums/992-turb...l#post17493512
I suggest you respond to Jeff's post first before you continue to make new posts and it would be great if you respond to my posts.
You can promote your products without involving and bashing your competitors. Especially in the case of Essex/AP who is well respected in the industry. It is unprofessional and comes across as desperate.
I still have no idea what his background is, his history in the braking world and motorsports, if any. Maybe I am wrong but I do not believe Racing Brake is used in any professional race team or any form of professional motorsports.

Maybe this is a spam bot and not a person?

The lack of response is most likely due to the fact that there is no racing history. It appears that Racing Brake products are produced by FANG JONG CO., LTD. out of Taiwan: https://www.fangjong.com.tw/homeEn.html
