I think Porsche needs a brownish red paint to sample, that way rotors match the car

Eriks car is living proof you can track these cars.........show me a Ferarri that has more track miles than Eriks car...........HA

Good company, yes......take you to bar night before......first session fuzzy head and your "good" friends buzz by you with ease

I had Erik on lap time until after lucnh Thursday.....put newer RA1 on and played with his KW shocks....minus three seconds. He even gave Peter a scare

My calipers match my wheels (which started black and are now purple in the rear and silver in front). I have it all figured out. But as long as only the pucks fall out and the cars still slows down, I'm not buying new calipers. Just hit 31K miles after mancation

Wasn't that part of the fight song of the Norfolk State girls basketball team...."We don't smoke, we don't drink, Norfolk, Norfolk...."

I just talked to Rick Deman

he has a front kit that uses AP Disks

Better pricing than Brembo, uses's stock pads......no modification

replacement disk is less than buying factory Porsche and will last longer......

I'm not a 100% sure, but I believe Stoptech makes 2 piece rotors for the stock system as well. I think you should give them a call Randy!
