New Brake Rotors
I had new front brake rotors installed before leaving for Manication II
PFC, designed for .2 RS.........first car to get the RS designed hat
I only have a picture since Trakcar picked up my car tonight.
NO modified pad required....

Izzone, do you mean that they will clear OEM brake pads? I'm guessing they fit the .2 GT3 also? Please PM pricing and supplier...

Looking forward to your observations in extremis.
From the yellowing of the PORSCHE on those front calipers, I'm guessing you were already having heat soak/saturation problems.
Those PFC rotors look just about as close to what I envisage as perfect as I expect to see in an iron rotor. The hats and fasteners look like the good stuff, too. Any chance they're using (or willing to use) Titanium in the hardware?
Are they stock 380mm? Any prospect of a larger rotor and bigger hat? I wonder if that would require a different pad.
And what's up with the finish of those GMG wheels -- they look like they're stained?

The summer heat at Sebring has cooked my calipers. I was running Motul, had SRF put in now. Yes......95F at Sebring causes heat soak
The shop that put the rotos on raves about them.....after I give them a beating for 10 days we will report back.
Before they were put on weights were taken vs stock. I do not have the weights yet
A matching rear is in the works
I have two sets of GMG satin black wheels, the finish has not worn well at all. Orbit was going to take some pictures and send to GMG for comment / repair

I'd appreciate it Izzone... I'm already over the local distributor to find out if they can get them assuming I have no luck getting them from the US... Look forward to your report after you flog them on the track...
