Sorry Martin.. been busy...

From the picture they are definitely at least two piece rotors. I don't believe they are Cup rotors. You can call a shop like farnbacherloles.com and ask them or maybe ask Ruf what they are? I wouldn't go changing them just for the sake of changing them. Once they do need to be changed PFC seem to be the way to go.

My shop said they are going to find out exactly which rotor's they are,a ll I know is they are damn light for their girth!

I probably will just get another set of front cup rotors, although I probably should get a floating multi-piece like the rears, only thing is I want them to last a bit, and don't want to deal with the expense of the drilled rotors cracking!

Thanks though, I guess i'll make up my mind soon enough!

The slotted AP racing two piece rotor will be the longest lasting, used in the ALMS, I have no problems using these with the Porsche Cup race pad.

The rotor is a direct replacement, you can use any pad you like..I use the Porsche Cup race pads P-50 P-40...I have also used the Pagid Black 14.
Wrightwood makes them... I bought them from TRG.

You guys have been swindled by the biggest marketing scam known to man. All this arguing about the lightest rotors. I purchased all the talked about brands and put each of them in my hot tub and not one of them floated. There is a sucker born every day!

Have just ordered some 01's so cannot comment on differences to the 97's.

I am on my second set of AP Racing discs using the same hats. I like the durability of the discs, but the bobbins that connect the discs to the hats wear badly, needing replacement before the discs. Anyone else have that issue? The availability of replacement discs also seems to be reduced. Are the ALMS folks still using these?
