CA has no sales tax benefit. you lose ALL tax you paid on old car. you pay full tax on the full price of the next car u buy. this is why calif is its own city-state.

I was in sticker shock when I typed it. My bad Won't happen again.

California is just one big scam.. I hear the weather is sometimes nicer in some places at certain times of the day...

California is great, Florida sucks. Spread the word. If people ever find out we can play 12 months of the year we are DOOMED

Now back to the scheduled brake rotor ???

Cups are a cheaper way to go - but then you still have the doggone holes. Wish Giro would make 997 PCCB replacement GT3 rotors -

You end up picking up the white one w/ red GT3 decals in SoCal? That car looked like a deal!

Ohh rotors..

Fronts slotted are cheap from Protosport (Or something, I only bought once, they last a year.) $600.00 for 2 and the OEM rears should be around $300 for 2.

Same here. If I put on long pants the dog starts barking, he knows I am leaving for a few days :-)
I would move right in, except they probably would make us run catalytic converters..
No emission check in Florida.

Alcon makes a direct swap out. Arlan Motorsports carry them. I had them on my last GT3 and they are sweet and expensive.

this thread has got way confusing, seems like the ideal solution is one where all you do is
swap out the PCCB rotors and hat for a direct replacement (pads if necessary) and no messing
around with uprights!

So, is in fact the StopTech kit such a direct replacement???

It IS super easy on a 99*6* GT3. Direct replacement with GiroDiscs and a pad switch for steel rotors.

perhaps i was not clear.
the soln i am looking for is for PCCB equipped 997.1 GT3 and must meet the following.
it MUST be oem porsche rotors, cup car rotors are acceptable.
it MUST be direct swap on, meaning take pccb off, put this new rotor on, if i need to do more than that, it is not acceptable soln
i do not want new uprights.
i do not want to spend any time filing or reshaping pads to fit the rotors/hats.
the pads must be either RS29, 19 or 14, i will not use any other pads period.

so with above constraints, is there a direct replacement. if not, i will look for other cars.

Giros meet the above, but are for 350mm rotor cars -

Hi Mooty,

AP makes a direct 380mm replacement rotor for the front. It's a straight bolt on, use the same caliper, change to RS29's and you're good to go.

Give Mark Francis a call at CDOC, he can duplicate the order we did to convert my RS from PCCB's to Iron. Approx $2400 for the AP fronts.

Rear is easy - just pull off the PCCB rotor and put on the OEM rear street or cup iron rotor - direct swap.

LOL John, I have the same requirement for girls.

This is what you are looking for right? 2010 front one piece Cup rotor. I wish I can get hold of one and test fit for you. Pretty cheap compare with two piece solution. I don't know if you still need to sand down the pads to fit. The key is to have the rotor sit center of the caliper ...

If the AP are slotted (and a replacement rotor should be) then the GiroDisc rears for 1200 would complement them well.
