Rear: 22lb

Brembo GTR (updated for 2010/2011 fitment)
Front: 21lb
Rear: 16.75lb

Stoptech STR (unconfirmed)
Front: 19.2lb
Rear: 14.6lb

Interesting. Pretty significant saving over Gen1. Thanks.

Especially when you consider they are larger than the .1 version. No problem...

if anyone is interested I have a new .2 set that I can sell at a significant discount, with drive pin kits already installed.

What did you go with for replacement?

New stock set.
As soon as I got the car a month or so ago I blew it into a million pieces to prep for the PCA Nat'l Concours in July. The rotors had surface rust and the directional stamps had worn off, so I ordered a new set.
I think that takes the cake for idiotic behavior unless someone wants to one-up me.
In steel for the track I only have experience with PFC, AP and Brembo and of those 3 the PFC product was probably the best for my use. The AP's were very expensive and more difficult to order, the Bremo setup had a tendency to lose the hat mounting bolts over time, the PFC's were the best compromise. No idea if they make such a thing for the .2 Rs yet, but I would be really careful of using other brands unless someone else wants to guinea pig them.
No charge for the opinion...

I've been weighing different 997.2 GT3 rotors.
In case anybody is interested here's what I came up with:
Cup front 21.06 lbs
OEM front 23.54 lbs
OEM PCCB fr 12.16 lbs
Brembo type lll fr 21.73 lbs
OEM PCCB rear 10.44 lbs
Porsche Turbo rear 22.08 lbs
weights are w/o the red nubs which weigh .25 lbs/wheel
Unbelievable how much lighter PCCB really is. Anybody have weights on movit 380/350 rotors?

I've done this math more than a couple times... basically PCCB drops 10lbs unsprung/corner. Having tried PCCB->Steel conversion on my cars before I can say the difference in steering feel is immediately noticeable--so much that I'm confident it WILL show up in a blind test among reasonably skilled drivers.

Just swapped front rotors on '11 RS to PFC slotted.
Used a bathroom scale so not exactly accurate.

OEM 24.4 lbs
PFC 20.8 lbs
