Tire Rack has also stocked them in the past.

Seems like you either go w/ ATE, Sebro, Zimmerman, PowerSlot, etc. for around $100, OEM or Deman for $300-$400, or Girodisc, PFC, Brembo, etc. for $650 and up.

I did not find anything on the Deman site about the rotors or any other parts but TRG and Paragon sell them. Bob, do you really think Deman has these made to their specs just for them? Seems unlikely - probably just branded.

FWIW I have 18 track days and close to 10,000 miles on my $105 Brake Performance Cayenne rotors. They have some checkering but I will get a few more events out of them. But overall I am not content w/ my braking - too much fade and pedal travel.
The weight advantage is really the only big advantage of the fancy rotors over the Cayenne units but it comes at a very obvious price.

Several have stated that they have seen very little real world performance difference from the reduced weight, all will agree they have much lighter pockets as a result of the fancy rotors.

IF you are not happy with your braking and are getting too much pedal travel and fade it is not because of your rotors. need to look elsewhere I've never had a car with such great pedal feel as I've got in my GT3.

Wow- alot of choices now. We don't need no stinking brakes anyway do we? I'm trying to use less anyway. The string trick works for some- String from Brake pedal to your left ********.

SSI Motorsports in MD has been able to get a slotted rotor for the 6 GT3. Very reasonably priced from what I understand. Rotor made by Sebro. Had them on their 6 Cup when I raced it at Summit Point last year. 3 sprints and the enduro and no cracks, no brake fade using PF08 pads on the front and PF11 on the rear. Their number is 410-668-1100.

Good price for front rotors.. rear 7tt rotors are a bit more than I'd like to spend for these though.

So just to clarify, all Cayenne S 350mm rotor will fit?
This is what I found from Tire Rack if someone could please confirm.

I have the slotted only (not cross drilled) on my car right now with PFC08 in the front. Great stopping. They have lasted 11 track days including 3 days at COTA. Some cracking started but still plenty life left. I tried the solid but removed them quickly as I would gas build up between pad and rotor and experienced reduced brake effect. I can not recommend the solid ones for track use.
I have the GT3 from BrakePerformance on the rear (crossed drilled - not slotted) with Pagid black.

For info, I only do DE (no competition events) and I run in red/white solo groups on AD08R.

I may try the ATE ones next time to see if they last longer.

The 2004/05 Cayenne S rotors are $160 / pair and has 2 year warranty against cracking. Have not tried to cash in on the warranty yet but I will on my next exchange coming up shortly

For the rear I bought the 6-3 crossed drilled back in Oct to keep as spares for about $280. Just installed them on Saturday and not run an event yet. Now I see the price has increased. Ouch
