PCCB equipped 996 GT3?
No rear caliper adapter required, OEM pad size too.

Iron rotor 996 GT3 requires a $175 caliper adapter & short annulus GT3 Pagid Yellow pad (to clear the center bell section)
Pads are readily available, not a problem.

So you sell Pagid Yellows that are pre-modified to fit the bell section...so would they also clear the Performance Friction bell too?

I have PFC on mine but will change to Pagid yellows for the next pads.

Advertising that one can ONLY USE their pads...well really now...never cared for that concept

Rob, tell me this: Your PFC pads; are they the same as OEM GT3? *Except* 64.3 rather than 66 mm measurement across the flat/center section of the pad?

THAT is the difference between the two Pagids, the center section incrementally smaller to clear the hat section.

Craig - I don't think PFC mind anyone using other pads...it's just that they don't fit...

I can't readily measure my PFC pads...they're on the car. I was hoping that if Pagid are making a different sized set to fit the 2-piece rotors for their own discs that these may also fit PFC.

Right, that's what I understand. But why?

If you could make a tracing of your pads it would be easy for me to reference it to the library of Pagid pad drawings.

So they might fit, but we rely on you to tell us ;-)

We've got some pictures, good start....

Now:
Mike, since you've had both *in-hand*, what are your objective conclusions as to size between the two?
What is the part number of that Pagid Yellow?

The last picture will give the best comparison. The pads are back to back, caliper bolts lined up with the RS19 s on the bottom. The yellow you see on the bottom of the picture is the difference, Just shy of a 1/4 inch.

Are the RS19s for the PFC calipers?

Update: NO special front pad required for front of 996 GT3!
This only applies to the 997 GT3


**Only rear caliper bracket & bolt kit required for the 996 GT3**
