EB Werks 2- Piece Rotor - Review
#31
Was at the track today and had the car jacked up so I snapped a picture of the Porsche Brembo adapter which mounts my 380 calipers to the uprights. Part number are:
Caliper adapters: 997 351 505 02
Adapter bolts: 999 073 313 09
Hard brake lines: 996 355 587 03 and 996 355 588 03
Caliper to wheel clearance is pretty tight..

Much appreciated!
What's your current wheel of choice?

I used to run CCWs, had 3 sets over the last few years. They're great wheels but tires tend to rotate on them which is annoying. I had the wheel bead roughed up, used hairspray, and even 3M spray adhesive. The 3M worked best but the tires still moved on the wheels a bit. Finspeed have a knurled bead option and that locks the tires on the wheels. Works beautifully. Tires don't move a millimeter.

goodpoint; Funny enough, I was having some tire rotation issues on the rears(on power), yet no issues with fronts under full braking(threshold, or heavy ABS testing), with OE 'Twists'.
Would think with billet-machined 'track' wheels, most manufactures would automatically knurl or rough-machine finish the bead area...
Cheers,

To my point. They will build whatever blue prints you supply. Here is the latest slot design I have changed to. Time for some zinc plating.

Thank you. Not anywhere near as good looking as your 4.1 crank in the 997 forum. I took a glance at type 3 and Ap. Combine both, changed the j hook slightly. Didn't measure any but a general idea.I have learned car manufactures/aftermarket reverse engineer each other stuff all the time. As long as it's not a 100% copy like that tuner that copy your exhaust (and used your exhaust) for lost part it's okay.

I really do like the look of these rotors. I'm kicking myself for not noticing earlier as I have a customer who went with some other two piece ones on his tt Next time around (he tracks a lot) we will do yours (face palm!).

LOL that thing is fun thanks! Ah yes the industry can be a bit like that sometimes I know... Shame really I noticed now another exhast company that LONG said our exhaust looses power on a GT3 (lol!) now two years later has a copy of it that they sell and it somehow makes MORE power than ours! Not sure how it went from -ive to +ive

Thank you for the kind words Alex, again. Yes these are mostly for track guys. Cheap consumables vs others in the market. It would be a huge accomplishment if you carry my product as I know how picky you are.
I will say, for many things I'm doing for the GT3, Sharkwerks is the platinum star of level of service/ product quality that i'm trying to emulate. A very high aspiration you guys have set for me. keep up the amazing work.
