Cool, and thank you for the heads up. The two-piece discs can be tough if we don't have the proper casting for a particular size. We'll look into the E63. Thank you again for the tip!

A PSA for the day...
We just lowered the price of our 2-piece AP Racing J Hook discs that work with the OEM calipers! We've been implementing our 350mm AP Racing 2-piece J Hook Discs on more and more Porsche chassis and our user base continues to grow. As such, we're now starting to realize some economies of scale that we can pass along as savings to our customers. We're pleased to announce that we are reducing the price of our front and rear 350mm J Hook Porsche discs for the foreseeable future. The affected disc pairs below that used to carry a retail price of $1,498 will now be $1,298 per pair. While our J Hook discs have always been considered the benchmark in miles per dollar, they now represent an even greater value!
Front 2-piece AP Racing J Hook for 992 Carrera S, 4S, GTS= https://www.essexparts.com/essex-des...ir-35034-front
Rear 2-piece AP Racing J Hook for 992 Carrera S, 4S, GTS= https://www.essexparts.com/essex-des...ar997tt-997gt3
We also have Ferodo pads, AP Racing fluid, Spiegler Stainless Steel Brake Lines, and of course the complete AP Racing Road (which John McLane is using) and Competition Brake Kits.

The GT4 rotor is not plug and play, you need a spacer for the caliper and another due also the ET is different , I show some photos .
i will have to change rotors next week I will do some better photos.

Update:
The service manager had me and their tech go attempt to replicate the on-track issue and were able to do so after about 30 mins of hard driving on a very windy nearby country road outside of town. He took some measurements of fluid temp, caliper temp, rotor temp, etc. Because my local dealership also services all of the company Porsche cars for Barber he had some interesting info. The first round of Porsche Experience cars for our location all came originally with steel brakes and were constantly in for brake related issues. They are now all equipped with PCCB and the first round of cars were shipped off somewhere or sold as demo cars. His opinion is that the front rubber portion of the brake lines is an inferior design to the 991 and upon excessive heat and abuse the rubber gets too soft and expands, creating a problematic issue with pedal feel and caliper compression (hence the dead pedal feel). This is his opinion and was going to research if the parts have been updated during production and if so, get my car some new brake lines. He stated I replicated a problem with another 992 C2S from a few months ago, all the brake lines were replaced and two new front calipers. Getting Porsche to allow it was the biggest hurdle at the time to get the car on the road again.
