I figured that out after a few moments. I remembered the name but typed The Racing group in, but I found it eventually.

No info on the 993 TT rotors I am looking for.

Thanks

yeah I use sunset also ask for jeff very knowledgable. If I were to replace the rotors again though I woudl go with the pagid s pads, I had them on my 996 and loved them, and for rotors I would get the stock ones but have them cryo treated by frozen rotors. - Top that off with some castrol srf or motul 600, maybe some braided goodrich lines and viola you will be astonished. Make sure you got new wear sensors if you wore through them

Goodrich?

For my source for rotors that I have currently, the 993TT rotors go from 189 to 218 for the cryo treated ones. Cryo is still sketchy. Many different opinions on this.

And even the best price I found, which is at crescent porsche in Louisianna, is 159. Add 56 for cry, plus shipping, and I may as well spend the 218 for the rotor at frozen rotors.

Thanks for all the sources guys.

I've done an a/b back to back comparison of 993 with big reds, one with cryo rotors, one with factory stock. The cryo demonstrated noticeable initial bite and overall higher levels of stopping force. My next set all round will be cryo'd.

By the way, I have a pair of factory, new-in-box, rear rotors for big reds if that's what's needed.

I appreciate your post Cararra. My rear rotors on my 928 are of a whole different kind, and will stay stock, escept for the addition of the cast holes (since the 993TT rotors for the front are cast holes, I am told, and I have no option on this).

I AM looking for a good deal on the actual calipers, however, for the 993TT. Same as the "big blacks" for the GTS, but I would have to reverse the cross over lines (they sit "upside down" in relation to the placement on your vehicles).
