Looking for a set, Stop Tech will work as well. Any leads will be appreciated.

Frozen?

Martin S.

No, actually its quite warm here...over 100 during the car, F that is, far from frozen, now what are you trying to say

32krazy!

i think he is asking if the calipers you have are frozen.

i think jferrante on here has a set for sale

Jferrante

I did - Martin was a few hours late on them

Martin S.

My rotors are NOT frozen...they are PCCB. I want to put them on the shelf for a bit so I can do a few DE days, hence the caliper/rotor brake parts hunt.

A friend provided me with a set of STOP TECH front calipers with two (2) piece rotors, now THAT is a friend. I tried to pay him for them, he wouldn't accept.

I am on the hunt for rear calipers and should have jumped on the set from jferrante, but was too late, they were pretty much sold...I was potential buyer #3.

32krazy!

he was referring to your rear calipers being frozen not the rotors. fwiw you could use any turbo rear caliper and install a spacer and longer bolts to allow the 350 mm rotor. opens the market up for you

Martin S.

Great tip....thanks.

You want to take the current calipers off the car to preserve them or because you are concerned with 350mm steel rear rotor options?

The caliper works for either application most just pull the ceramic rotors off the car not the calipers.

A set of Girodisc 350mm rears has to be cheaper than new calipers and a downgrade to a 330mm rotor.

Yes, the title of the thread states calipers . .

Martin's car has low miles.

Yellow calipers for posterity...maybe put them on the coffee table, perhaps on my night stand. I have been driving the car a bit the past few days, those ceramics do the job. I do appreciate your advice.

Thanks again,

Martin S.

Have I lost my freaking mind? The easiest thing to do, cheaper too, is simply bolt up the the iron rotors and the appropriate pads. I do love those Pagid Yellows.

I do have a set of StopTech front calipers and Giro 2 piece rotors. I may just give them back to my buddy who gave them to me. He can sell them.

I know the front change over should be a snap, however in the rear, the ceramic and iron rotors differ a bit in diameter, with the iron is 330, and Ceramic (PCCB) at 350mm. I am concerned with potential fitment problems.

Conceptually, the PCCBs are the way to go, long lasting, don't corrode, light weight compared to iron....but I do have the itch for a track day or two, and from all that I have heard, PCCBs for frequent track usage is not recommended. Replacement at $4,500 a corner is a bit of a wake up call.

Jferrante

get 350mm rear rotors....997tt part numbers work

Martin S.

Thanks for the tip...good idea, why downgrade? 350mm it is.

Thanks again.
