I have just swapped my ceramics on my 2010 rs out to the new slotted brembo type 3 package. Sharkwerks.
The exchange and installation was quite simple except for the complicated tools and procedure with the center lock nut.
As for feel now at 50 miles, the ceramics stop and feel tighter than the steel rotors and p29 pads. I need to seat them in a little better and this is on the street only -- not the track.

PS Removing the centerlocks is fun eh

You can still use those. For how long depends on your track and brake technique and pads.

Hey Mike, track is Philip Island... Fast track but I'm usually not so harsh on the brakes- pads are OEM. Won't be doing my 1 tank of gas between stops this time... Moving to PFC rotors after this next track day... I'm thinking they are good... Not used to dealing with cracking rotors and don't know how far to push them...

I've heard good things about Alcon.
But their website is not user friendly. If you don't know your brakes its tough to browse - no categorization by manufactuer/model.

Alcon's website is really poor...I agree. But, their rotors are top shelf. As we are a licensed distributor for them I have more information available then the website reflects. Our own website needs an extensive overhaul to cover the numerous products Alcon provides (as well as others we are adding daily).

Those rotors have tons of life, use them
I may have found a cheaper than OEM GT3 rear rotor option.....when I confirm I'll send you a note

We also carry a Proprietary Slotted ( 6 slots ) OEM Rotor from Sebro that fits the GT3 Front & Rear that is fantastic. Currently it is not on our site as I am still awaiting the production shipment from Germany. We originally brought in several sets for testing and found them better then many other options out there.

You still have life left in those, maybe even a set of pads worth. When the cracks from the center get out to over a 1/4", you should start looking at replacements. I am getting 2 sets of pads per 1 set of front OEM rotors. After my current set of pads I am switching to PF slotted front rotors. My new front rotors are built with the updated hats and supposed to arrive tomorrow. Despite that I will be on my 5th set of pads, I will still be on my first set of rear rotors. That is pretty incredible about how well the OEM rears are holding up.

Thanks guys... Most cracks are about the 3-5mm mark in length with the occasional one at 6-7mm but there aren't many cracks at the holes nearer to the edge...
