Default Spacer for 997.2 Brake Rotors Upgrade to 350mm

There is someone I saw on a forum on here or it could have been a Facebook thread that was selling a caliper spacer for the Porsche 997.1 in order to have the caliper accommodate a larger rotor. I was wondering if there is anyone that has figured this out for the Porsche 997.2 NON-S yet? I do see that on Suncoast they have the following kit: https://www.suncoastparts.com/produc...IROA1-153.html


Girodisc Front 350mm 2-piece Rotor Upgrade that goes for $1200 for the front and anotehr $1200 for the rears. This kit increases the rotor size to 350 with a spacer and larger bolts that are used with the calipers. I was wanting to track this person down as I would like an upgrade without spending $2400 on rotors alone. If anyone knows this person, I would like to send them my business.


Thanks for any help on this.

You can also contact Epytec in Germany who can make custom spacers and adapters from dimensions you provide to them. That's who I'm using for the PCCB conversion on my Cayenne

I'm planning to go with the Girodisc 350mm rotors pretty soon. There are benefits there besides just the added size.. they are quite a bit lighter. Not sure if there are better, equally light, and more cost effective options than the Girodisc rotors.

I run a slotted 2-piece Girodisc 993TT rotor on the front of my 928 Spyder (Powerslot in the rear) as part of a Big Blacks brake upgrade. No issues and excellent quality.

On my wife's pink pearl 997 I use a dba (Disc Brakes Australia) 2-piece setup in the stock size (1 piece dba in the rear) so look into those as well.

I researched for a few days about doing what you're planning to do but on a .1 base.

I essentially found out that 330-340mm rotors was the only option, and that girodisc or another aftermarket source was my only hope. As no Porsche rotors are that diameter/height. Unless someone knows something I don't

If you're looking to really upgrade, early 997 Carrera PCCBs (and 996TT) are 350mm Front & Rear but that's a whole different discussion
