Default Can someone confirm these to be ALCON Rotors for Big Reds TT 993???

So we purchased these used and wanted to make sure they are really ALCON before we go about trying to replace them... Does anyone know by visual if these are indeed ALCON rotors?

BTW: The calipers were badly worn and re-done (re-powdercoated) by Eric (this is shortly after install so time will tell how they do after track use)


...first 2 photos are front Rotors and caliper.. last photo is REAR caliper and rotor.. The rear rotor meant loosing the parking brakes to make 'em fit.

The fronts appear to be stock 2 piece 993tt. The rear is a custom setup that I have sen but am not familiar w/. I dislike those rear setups because you can use the 993tt 322x28 rotors and retain the parking brake. For racing the al. hat version w/o brake is better but not for street use.

no worries, the car is used primarily for track events

...but the fronts are NOT factory stock.. The hats are true floating and are aluminum... although I suppose they look much like stock from the angle of the photo.. if I were to take a straight down photo, you would see spaces (not present in the factory rotors)... and they are lighter than factory fronts too!

I wanted to see if anyone recognized them to be ALCON for sure is all...
