Default Rear rotor options for those of us running PFC Motorsport front?

Running the PFC Motorsport front assembly on my .1GT3 and need options for the rear.

PFC makes their 2-piece motorsport rotor assembly for the rear but it will NOT allow for the e-brake and I am NOT removing the e-brake. So........I am either left with stock rotors or another option.

So, what other options are there for the .1GT3 rear rotors? I know with my 6.2GT3 I could run PMNA cup rotors in the rear. Is that an option?

I don't mind running the stock rotors as they are pretty cheap for a set ($350 a set) but the cups are usually a tick lighter since they are typically thinner.

Thanks for the input

Actually Deputy Dog as the experience and line on running stupid cheap after market rotors on a 997.1...talk about frugal....his name is Burkeowitz for a reason. He's run all sorts of pads too.

Thanks fellas, but maybe I should rephrase. I'm not looking for cheap alternatives, I'm just trying to figure out what options exist to pair with my fronts.

Really just trying to figure out what guys running the PFC Motorsport fronts are doing for rears. If most are just doing stock, then I am good with that.

on GT3/RS.2 we are using stock turbo rears (cheaper) as they are virtually the same as OEM part but less $.

Interesting. The .1 stock rotors are the same price as the Turbo rotors. Again, they are still relatively inexpensive at $350 a set. Looks like I am going with the stockers.

stock rears for me too.

I do like the PFC front slotted rotors, with 08 pads.

Cheapest thing I can find for the fronts, and stock for the rear from suncoast.

The PFC08's are sweet, I agree.

Again, not looking for cheap. Looking for the options.

Seems to be the trend so I'll be going with the stockers.

Girodiscs offer a slotted rotor that includes a parking brake, I have them on my car. I would imagine they would fit the GT3 but you will have to doublecheck.

Yeah, the Giro's are an option but at $1200 for the rears it doesn't make much sense.
