I have a few months time, so I will wait for the PFC kit to be tested. Nothing bad about the above brands but even slotted rotors can crack and at $950.00 a pair, I am tempted to buy another set of OEM fronts that seem to last me 20 days anyway.
Sounds like snake oil, but maybe I will freeze them if it is cheap to see if the 3rd set will get better then 20 days..
Cracks are not cracks. Rotors are trash only after at least 3 holes connect and or connect to outside of rotor in at least 2 places..
My last set had 15 days and nothing connected (See pics), my current set has more miles but less Sebring in the Summer and look a bit better still.
I also like the feel with holes. Poke 'em and it feels like a brake flush.

Interesting car, too, but those oversized (?) rotors, 18 inch wheels, Yoko slicks ... still a street 911 (looks like a 3.8 GT3 ... maybe the white RS on the sponsor site receiving an interesting custom fab'd cage.)

I imagine Deman is offering something like this:
http://www.apracing.com/info/product...75-7_2648_2645
... which could well be the turn key solution to factory rotors, but I haven't seen it used on the track, just on some street cars with no reports on track performance.

Advanced
The only teams that used the AP Touring Car caliper kit (Which is a race kit for the RS-R) are the Lizards and Tafel Racing (when they were around).
The kit Deman sells is also mostly a racing kit, but used in the ALMS GT-C Class where the OEM calipers are regulated.

I love your car! The color combo is great. The wheels look fantastic, what brand are they? They look like the GMG wheels but 3 piece.
I think you should paint the front Red lipstick

Very tidy looking track car -- is it used in competition? What's your experience with the girodisc rotors (pedal feel, wear, performance)?
For that roll cage, does it meet regulations for whatever race sanctioning body where you're competing? It's unlike anything I've seen -- certainly impressive fabrication quality. For safety, you should put in a fire system and look to pad the bars of the cage. Something like this looks like a very good solution for a car that's still driven on the street (no helmet.)

The air inlet is not painted yet due to the lack of time soon.
Concerning wheel rims, they are "FORELINE"

I hope I can make also of the lapping on American tracks and why no races.
The cage is to certify PCA.
Thank you for the information of the protections inside of the cage, I am going to look at that at once.
For brakes, I can give you information after this WE, I make my 1st tries with trembling mount.
Rotor of origin Porsche lasted no more than 4 days of circuit...
look for the moment, US clubs which organize lapping on American track, as Watkins Glen, lime rock park...
But the organization of these lapping, are very differing from what this fact in Europe.
If you have ideas, I am a buyer!
Thank you for your help.

My experiences are similar with stock RS90/RS19 pads. Front pads need to be flipped after 6-8 track days. Your front rotors are toast. Mine looked similar after 11 track days. My rear rotors have 15 track days, are on their second set of pads and still don't have a single crack in them. Earlier this year, I did put new front rotors on for about $450 a piece. After 4 track days, front rotors are doing great. If they don't last any longer than the last set, I will probably get a pair of APs for the front.
