This is what the 997 TT PET (E_997T_KATALOG.pdf) says:
997.1 TT (upto 2008): Rear Brake Disk Left: 997.352.405.01 and for the Right: 997.352.406.01.

997 GT3 PET (E_GT3-2_KATALOG.pdf) comes up with exactly the same part#'s for the steel rears..

I thought the steel GT3 rear disks would not fit the 997.1 GT3 PCCB set-up...

Not sure about the steel GT3 rear. I used the 997.1 Cup steel rear rotor which is basically 997 TT rear steel rotor. The only difference between Cup and steel rotor is that Cup rear rotor has slightly larger wheel stud opening to fit the "dummy" stud

My Z06 has the stock ceramic rotor which is the same as Ferrari 430 Scuderia and 458. So far it works really well. Will stay with stock ceramic since replacement rotor is 1/5 of Porsche price

Mikymu, thanks for the feedback on the zo6, what pads have you found to be the best so far I have just started AX with it and will be visiting the track soon to see how it compares to my 6gt3.

Hi there

Maybe you guys can help, I've got a 997.1 C2S which has PCCB upgrade, so 350mm rotors all round.

I am converting back to steel, is it the 997 Turbo rotors which are a direct fit for my car please?

I assume the larger GT3 380mm front rotor is not compatible due to wrong offset?

Yes, turbo steels are the ones to use. I have an '08 997.1 C2 w PCCBs and that's what I use.

Excellent!
Have you kept your PCCB calipers? Is it ok to use PCCB pads too?

Took the plunge and spent $400 (!) on the 997 TT / GT3 steel rear rotors (Left: 997.352.405.01 and Right: 997.352.406.01), installed them and can report that it is a perfect fit. Running the old P40 pads for now (70% left). Will see how they hold up.
