Default Alcon Rotors for sale

I have a set of Alcon two piece front rotors for sale. 360 mm, they come with bolts and spacers. They have six DE's on them. They are a direct replacement for the 996 PCCB setup. They cost $2400 new I want $800 plus shipping.

Thanks,

Dean

Someone please buy my PFC direct drives so that I could jump on these babies. What kind of pads did you use with these on 6 DEs? Also, like to know how much are the replacement discs if you know. Thanks Dean.

I ran pfc97's on these disks only. I also found out that new rotor thickness is 32mm and min is 30mm. Mine are still really close to 32mm. Not sure about replacement cost, I'm sure its not cheap. They are advertised to last 20k DE type miles which seems rather incredible. Arlan motorsports in CA. is the US distributor, call Dave and ask him.

As for if they will work on a non PCCB car I'm trying to find that out as we speak. Should know tomorrow since JZ Machtech is closed already, they are located in England.

When you used these what rotors where you running on the rears? I am looking to change my gt2's to non-ceramic.

I have the complete set of alcons front and rear. The rears reuse the original stainless hats that way the parking brake is still functional. The rears will work on my 997 GT3, unfortunately the fronts won't hence the sale.

Unlikely to last 20k DE miles, but I probably got close to 20 trackdays out of my first set. I have them all round and use RS29s.

Ken, why are you trying to unload your PFC rotors. They are fantastic!

JZ Machtech the exclusive world wide Alcon distributor for Porsche says these will work on non PCCB cars but will require different bolts and spacers. So here is your chance to upgrade to a 360mm rotor for cheap!

Haha! Covettes are FAST! Z06 is a king of VIR (or even at Summit)!

I've decided to keep the PFCs now. Love the Alcons (as always) but the replacement cost is too baller for me at this point. Besides, my lazy *** don't want to go to friend's place and swap the brakes in this freezing weather. Already got the replacement discs for the PFCs so I'm just gonna let the shop take care of it once in for all before Zone 2 event. Woot! If I don't have PFCs already, I would definitely pick these up tho. Everything Alcons is very high in quality and design.

Well of course they are fast silly, have you checked out the size of your motor versus theirs? How many times have you run Alcon's on the GT3?

A question regarding the pads to use with the PFC replacement rotors. I understand you have to use PFC pads with these rotors. Do PFC make a street friendly pad for when I'm not using the car on the track?
