Default 997 Rotor alternative

Check out these rotors..!
2+ times the life of the factory cross drilled rotors, better performance.

We have tested them in race conditions for the last 6 months and have outlasted the factory ones and way better performance. We recomend Pagid Black RS-14 pads for track use.

Introductory price of $395 per set for the front.

What are the 997S front rotors worth and will they work with Pagid RS19?

I do believe the Carrera S has the same front rotor as the standard 997...I will look into that tomorrow, but a C2S just left my shop tonight and I did notice it looked the same as the regular one..

Rick,

Thanks for the post. Next time I need rotors I will contact you. I saw you and your team with Thom Soriano's GT3 Turbo at Pocono a couple of weeks ago for the NASA race. You guys cleaned house that weekend with that car. I was at the track that weekend helping my buddy sort out his race car with brand new motor. That GT3 Turbo( pic below) you guys built was one sick machine, my hats off to you

What is the weight compared to factory?

You said "cross drilled" rotors...............is that true or are the factory's slots forged into the rotor?

You're selling replacement rotors and you don't know if the S ones are different than the stock Carreras? What else don't you know? If I were in the rotor business I would know everything I could about them.

My listings were correct, 996, 997 and Boxster S are all the same part # from Porsche..all the same size in the front.

The Carrera S is not the same...if MJones is correct...but I will verify tomorrow...

What else do I know? You won't be buying any with PCCB..!

Rick you said the 997 and 997S rotors are the same and they are not. So what size are your rotors? I am shocked you were wrong on this.

In my post, I said I thought the S was the same from first glance...I have not looked into the part #'s yet, but it seems MJones has...and he says they are not the same..

I will verify tomorrow and post the answer...sorry if this caused you any trouble.. But, I do think they are still the same as the standard 997...
