Yes you can. Do a search. There is a thread that lists all the rotor that will work with your PCCB calipers.

Read through this thread. Some comments about swapping:

Brembo
AP Racing (See vividracing.com)
Coleman

Sunset Porsche also is working on a rotor swap kit. Not sure if it's available yet.

Yep, Craig is your man at Rennstore. I bought my pads from him for the same set up. PCCB calipers with steel rotors.

As a side note, when you check the thickness of your front pads, make sure you look a them from below. The leading caliper pistons exert more pressure than the trailing ones, so they wear out on the bottom first. Z
