Brembo slots, reuse the rear pads, they will sell you modified (slightly thinned fronts), keep your noise dampners, lose the wear senders, i just zip tie mine away from the wheel, KEEP the BREMBO CONTAINERS for the fragile ceramics

Wrote the group buy coordinator also about this update: About 14 days til the 380mm items arrive; a bunch were sent overseas and thus we and the mfgr are tapped out for a short bit. Thank You all for your patience for the short term, these are well worth it :-)

Do you have the needed brake clearance with your Fikse wheels? If not we have many center options for greater brake clearance.
^ this + set up a group buy from Eddie @ RPW since there are 4 of you.
Just completed this same PCCB to steel conversion myself with parts from Eddie:
PFC slotted floating 380mm front rotors, PFC08 pads, wheel studs and caliper studs:
Test fitting my Fikse 18" wheels:
Don't have a picture but 350mm Turbo rotors in the rear with PFC08 pads, wheel studs, caliper studs and rear brake ducts from the .2
VERY happy with the result!

The PF dimpled rotors are 379x34, the slotted are 378x32. There is no difference in the quality according to Performance Friction. The dimpled are sold as assemblies or you can purchase just the rotors of course when time to replace. The hats also contain shims that keep the disc from rattling when cold or during street driving. The shims can be removed. I was once able to procure the shims for a customer with slotted rotors who didn't like the clunk and rattle soundtrack on the street Performance Friction classifies them as "street performance."
Slotted are sold by themselves, with the hats being a la carte. Assembly is done by you or your shop. Since these are classified by PF as "race'' no shim kit comes with them and if you drive your car on the street they will rattle and clunk when cold.
We always have this stuff in stock and ready to ship at OG Racing. If you have any questions please contact me at your convenience.
Kind regards,

So me and 2, possibly 3 other guys in the bay area are looking to packaging together a buy to convert all of our PCCB rotors to steel for track use.
I'm opening up a thread here to get everyone's thoughts on options. Let's talk about each car:
997.2 GT3. Car will be running 18" HRE with Hoosiers. Please tell me if these replacement options (rotor and pads) are correct:
1) OEM GT3 steel front and OEM GT3 or turbo rear - PFC pad or pagid compatible
2) PFC front and OEM GT3 or Turbo rear - PFC pad compatible only
3) Girodisc front and rear - pagid compatible only
4) cup rotors?
997.2 Turbo S (centerlocks)
1) OEM turbo steel front/rear - pagid or PFC pad
2) girodisc front rear - pagid only
Boxster spyder
1) girodisc front/rear - PFC pad, endless me20, and Pagid compatible
Are these options/assumptions correct? What would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

PS - let those rotors float and enjoy the cool race car sound rattling around where ever you go
I recommend getting second set of hats for front rotors and having them already assembled on rotors for MUCH MUCH MUCH quicker trackside swaps.
