Not certain that it is physically possible for them to 'stop better' - at least with my life experience I won't claim such a broad thing ;-)
Guys are reporting back an average 2x ++ the life of OEM.
Getting rid of the pesky old fashioned holes (no top tier race teams use holed rotors) is a great thing -
996TT warpage is truly rare anyways, but the grooving which coincides with the way the holes line up equals a premature OEM rotor death.
With a rotor ring replecement cost of 295/drive pins and bolts for 45 per, it truly adds up to an intelligent upgrade
It's the way to go, ESPECIALLY for a 996 TT because of the relatively small rotor diameter coupled with a big car with a TON of HP.

Thanks!

Holy sh@t...just put these things on the front, w/ some new pads, and OMG it has totally changed the front end. 
It feels like the steering is more responsive, and the front end is a little lighter. Can 3lbs less unsprung weight make a noticeable difference? I keep telling myself it's my imagination, but I swear I feel an improvement.
Oh, and it stops good too...
Thanks Craig!

They'll last a lot longer and have higher capacity for hard track use.
The 996TT is the single highest benefactor of this upgrade, more so than any other Porsche -

Craig. Do you just include a 10mm spacer to be installed between the caliper and spindle to make up the 10mm height difference? (350mm rotor Subtracting the Stock 330mm rotor diameter divided by 2 to get the appropriate caliper height difference)
Thx..
