Hi
I have 997.1 Gt3 with PCCBs. I would like to use steel rotors , like the ATE slotted ones . Probably I won't track much.
I have Done some searches and are more confused now about what fits.

So can someone tell me:
1 Do the slotted ATEs Fit? if not Whats does?
2 What pads go into the six pots for steel?
3 What set up for rears work ?

I'm, sure this has bee covered but I still am confused.
Thanks
Elliot

i understand 997.1 CUP rotors work. Very slick!

others will chime in.

Id keep PCCB if not tracking however. No squeal to deal with etc...

Elliot, you can use PFC's or like tcsracing said, the Cup rotors.
Rotors are 380mm ATE won't fit.
Pads, PFC also, pagids are a waste of money, or either if you don't track you can use OEM

If you are not going to track the car--keep the PCCBs. In fact, short of a professional driver who is not paying for their own rotors, for most of us the ONLY utility of PCCBs is on the street--and that is where they shine. Little to no brake dust, and most importantly, decreased unsprung weight--so, decreased inertia, and a more responsive wheel, resulting in a better ride. There are WAY more surface imperfections on the street than on the track, and again, that is where your investment in PCCBs gives you a daily return. They are also durable, and you will likely never replace them on the street.

Like already said, PFC's or cup rotors. There are other options I am sure but these seem to be good choices. If just street use would just use the PCCB's. If want to switch then contact orbit racing or GMG and they can hook you up. I had the same issues as you. The more I researched the more confusing it becomes. Finally clear to me (more of less).

OT:

can i install 996 PCCB rotors in my 997 big reds? (i want carbon rotors!)

NJ-GT

Yes, straight fit. I ran my 996 GT3 CCB rotors with the 997.1 GT3 RS Red calipers. Weight reduction is close to 50 lbs, I have the exact weights somewhere.

Straight swap, no need to change anything else. For brake pads, plenty of options, Rs19, rs29, pfc08, endless n05s, mA45b , me20 all of these benign on CCB rotors.

why switch? With lots of track time one could make a case. With pretty much street only the rotors will last. I had 60,000 miles on my 996 GT3 which had 80+ track days and the rotors were still fine.

Yes you can, and I have a set

tcsracing1

how many miles on em?

Orbit r

I'll verify and let you know tomorrow.

So fronts ...cup rotors or PfCs 380 mm pad Oem or others ?
( are the PCCB special Pads ?)

What about rears ? what size are these? Some one said 997 TTs is that right ?

Elliot, you can use the PFC up front, if not tracking, stock pads are OK, for the track PFCs. Rear, you can use the TT rotors. They don't last as long as the RS, but do work very well and are cheaper.

I wonder if the 380mm cayenne rotors would fit? I run the 350mm cayenne rotors. Tons of options. Very inexpensive at under $200 a set, delivered. I got around 15 days out of my last sets of ate's and they probably had 3-5 more days on them. As cheap as they are its easier to just pitch them when they are getting close.

I still haven't found an alternative sets of rears though and continue to spend double on the OEM's...

TRAKCAR

+1, that's what we all run.

Fronts, PFC.
Rears, $135 ea. and they last you a year. Geez, I bet you put 87 in the tank and run any cheap brake pad you can find. We go drininking and the tab is rarely less then a set of rear rotors. Just need to shift your priorities..

Then shift them some more.

How much did the yellow custom color baller trailer cost?
