Eddie,

When you get a chance can you PM or email me a price for caliper studs and wheel studs.
Thanks

Just for reference, PFC is now the Porsche 991 Cup OEM supplier. This should say a lot about their products.

When would be a good time to change caliper studs? Do they just get terribly dirty and fatigued? Looks like I need to get some from Eddie.

Going back to the topic, I'm cureently using oem 2 piece rotors...but I rather save the oem parts for sale of the car (to get into an RS) I and use PFC rotors to abuse =)

I was sold on the 08 pads before you even sold it to me eddie. Haha

Pads are amazing. Period. Try it then you will fall in love with it. Price vs performance... Nothing beats it.

I'm interested in a potential group buy.
Approximately how much are we talking for a 997.2 Turbo S?

If you ever track your car then you need studs because you will have to change your pads more frequently than a street car (as in never). And when it goes wrong - day over. Also, those bolts will fatigue and break from multiple removals.

Sooner or later those bolts will bend or break. Happened to me. Day over.

Sooner or later you will not set the bolt in correctly and strip the housing. Happened to me. Day over.

Another thing you need - those clips that hold the pucks in place. Rubber wears out and pucks fall out - total PITA trying to change pads when that happens. Eddie supplied me with clips that hold all my pucks in place, easy pad changes at the track (or shop too).

GT3 DE Cup brake kit:
PFC steel front rotors
Turbo rear steel rotors
PFC 08 pads
Stud kit (with a few extra nuts)
puck clips (order about 10 more than you need, helpful to give to a friend in need at the track)
one full set of pucks (these break sometimes at the track)

Hey guys,

With regards to the rear turbo CL rotors for a 997.2 gt3, does anyone have the part numbers? Are they same in terms of thickness, drill pattern, longevity and look etc...

Too expensive to ship from the US so going to buy a jar of vaseline and visit the local dealer...

Thanx in advance
