PFC 08's have a nice initial bite I like and for me easy to modulate. Comfort level .. I'm sticking to them on GT3. .02 cents

Sometimes I wonder if there's a way to quantify these things. For example do PFC 08's go through rotors twice as fast as other pads? Three times? Or just 30% faster? I'm assuming it's not THAT much faster, but I really don't know.
Likewise I've read that 08's put more heat into the brakes, and I wonder how much. As long as your brake fluid doesn't boil, should be ok I guess.

I ran PFCs and my rotors lasted a year. They aren't that hard on them. And Cayenne rotors are $100. Hard really doesn't matter at that price!

Nickshu- regarding the 350 mm conversion- " The only issue I ran into is the ABS cable will no longer reach to the stock bracket" I just came off Porsche computer. The wire for the 997 to brake sensor is available which would match the wire to the 996 bracket. Your cost would probably be about $150 ea side. I'm just gonna zip tie for now as well.

Hey thanks man!!! That's great, I will order a set of those. Great idea.

The wire goes all the way into body. My guy said behind grommet is the connector. I could call him back for part number ... It's really not necessary. I was interested so it looked perfect as from factory.. We looked at photo & it looked correct.. For now I'm just doing conversion & drive it to be sure all OK & bed new rotors. Then I'll consider the wire swap out. I always do 1 thing at a time so traceable

Nickshu

Ahh yes I forgot I had looked into that before and found the wire is a pigtail that you have to splice into the harness somewhere around the rear seat area. That sounds like a PITA. I'll wait for a reason to do so and stick with my zip ties. :-)

The problem is not the total length of the cable but rather the distance from the connector at the hub to the rubber grommet (which is molded into the cable) that goes into the bracket. Since the bracket is attached to the back of the caliper it is moved outwards after installing the spacers.

it's a plug & play....no splice ..I too just going to release it from bracket

It's not how much the rotors cost, it's the risk of being on track when one cracks. I also use the cheap fronts, and have had to replace them in as few as 30 sessions (8 days). Going to the 350mm rears did help, as it takes some of the load off the fronts.

Still looking for a review from someone who went from PFC08s to DS1.11s.

Could you post the part numbers for the Cayenne rotors you use?

Thanks,

Does anyone run the PFC slotted rotors?

I run the PFC rotors - currently on V2, trying to decide is I want to go to the V3 or something else...

I really like the PFC rotor / pad combination, but the PFC price structure can be painful...

Once you buy hats, the rotors look like they are around $500 a piece....not bad when you look at brembo rotors for $900. I guess its all relative.

Hi Ross,

I have been running the PFC rotors for ~12 years now on a variety of cars and really like the wear, my issue is that PFC will EOL a line, and force you to spend another bunch of money for hats etc... If I could find another set of PFC V2 rotor ruings, I would buy them. as it stands, the $100 per Cayenne version is looking better and better. Problem is: I have is that I have a cup car setup on my car, so I need to drill out the bolt holes which is not difficult, but takes some time.

I am curious what the REAL differences between these various rotors, except perhaps for unsprung-weight and cost.
