Who makes floating rotors for the 996 gt3 besides Brembo anyone else worth talking to?TIA HOM

 

ap racing has floaters too.

 

any preference?

 

No preference should I have a preference?

 

We use both, but I like the AP's a bit better. Pricing is almost identical.

 

Wrightwood racing sells AP racing floating rotors that are slotted and are quite good. You can choose between the larger 360mm x 34mm rotors (which were allowed in ALMS for a season or two) or standard size 350mm x 33mm rotors. Both are two-piece and can be floating, or solidly mounted to its aluminum 'hat'. Same price. The smaller one is five pounds lighter per corner. Both are lighter than stock. I have the larger floaters and think that they are one of the best mods I've done to the car. BTW I left the rears stock b/c I did not want to lose the emergency brake.

 

brembo is very noisy. the rotor rattles against the hat. i do mean NOISY. VERY NOISY.

ap has some sort of little springs b/n the rotor and hat, so less noise. i like ap.

 

You can ask for the non floating AP rotors..the floating ap rotors drove me crazy, I had to machine the bobets to rid the play.

 

I can recommend the Alcons. Very happy with them and they are meant not to rattle as they wear (brass inserts around the floats or something).

 

Thanks everybody for your quick responses and help HOM

 

I have a pair of the 360mm Wrightwood floaters available used in good condition, if anyone is interested, drop me a direct email, to jmreiser@frontiernet.net

 

Can we get Alcons in the US?

Well Alcon have a sales presence in the US. I got mine in the UK however from JZ Machtech. Maybe better to buy the equivalent product locally though if they are as good. We only really have alcon & brembos easily available in the UK and the brembos rattle a lot.
