Default 996 Rotor alternative

Check out these rotors..!
2+ times the life of the factory cross drilled rotors, better performance.
We have tested them in race conditions for the last 6 months and have outlasted the factory ones and way better performance. We recomend Pagid Black RS-14 pads for track use.

Introductory price of $395 per set for the front.

Sorry, that copy was from the GT3 rotors page.

Not less money, but much better value over the long run and preformance.

Rick,
I think I speak for many of us (esp those of us who track quite a bit) that it's nice to see a quality slotted alternative on the market. However I wish the prices were just a touch more competative. The price you quoted Ray for the Boxster set is right in line with what the OEM rotors cost for that car, on the GT3's you're cheaper than the OEM rotors, yet the price for the standard 996 is nearly twice of the OEM rotors?

Hi Andy,

Thanks for letting me know...

I wish I could make the 996/997 Boxster rotors more competetivly priced, but fact is the stock ones are sooo inexpensive compared to the GT3 and Boxster standard rotors that the value get's tougher to handle. But, it's still a great value if you put the #'s to work, 2.5+ times the life, end the hastle of changing/watching the rotors all weekend..

If the demand is going to be there, I can produce more at 1 time and probably lower the end cost around $45 or so..but let's see how much demand there is..

Rick,

Do these make any noise when driving? Also is there any benefit to not extending the slots all the way to the edge of the rotor like some of the other manuf do?

Thanks,

-Paul

The slot all the way to the end is always a source of stress crack failure....these do not crack there...
