Hi.

Has anyone come out with a reasonably priced direct replacement set of rotors for the 7.2 GT3 yet?

I like running with Pagid yellow, so I don't want anything that requires me to use their own mated brand of pads. I also don't want to replace calipers.

I was hoping that by now the aftermarket would have come up with something decent that was in a good price range.
If not, I'll just replace with OEM.

That said, what's the best source for the OEM rotors? Suncoast is at around $500 per corner. Some have posted that they've replaced for less than that but didn't specify the source.

Thanks!

YIKES! are the oem 2 pc ?

Aftermarket is focused on performance upgrades, i.e. 2-piece floating rotors. Personally, I believe the OEM rear rotors are great. I am in disbelief that I am still on my original set of rear rotors after 25K miles with all the tracking and having gone through 3 sets of pads. I have barely any cracks and the longest is maybe 1/8". You can use OEM solid disc 997 Turbo rear rotors which are cheaper, but they don't last as long. I would just stick with OEM 997.2 GT3 for the rears.

Fronts on the other hand are simply a bad design. I am on my 3rd set of OEM fronts with a new set of front PRC 2nd gen rotors dimpled floating rotors waiting to go on at my next pad change for the front. Go aftermarket floating for the front and take the cost hit on the first set. Surfaces will last twice as long as OEM rotors and the replacement surfaces are the same $500 you would be paying for the OEM fronts, so basically it will cost half as much to run the aftermarket rotors long term.

Suncoast's price of $500/rotor is actually pretty good.

Man you gotta drive harder... either your track is unusually brake-friendly or you haven't really dipped into those brakes all these 25k miles!

Oem fronts are 2 pics floating but I don't think hats are reusable... Look into PFC slotted rotors/hats.. I think u can reuse the beat and just replace the rotors

Ajjra

Girodisc's will last longer than OEM but will cost you a tad more.

^^FYI, I purchased from Paragon Products. Great guys and great prices.

I drive 3 different tracks. OEM rear rotors just seem to last, unlike the fronts. Haven't got more than 10K miles with 10+ track days out of a set of front rotors. I have noticed the OEM front rotors start cracking badly after 4-5 track days. I am also on my 4th set of front pads.

The hats are not removable from the outer surface. Brembo casts the iron surface around the pin extensions from the aluminum huts. When you take them new out of the box, hubs feel hard fixed to the surfaces. After a couple heat cycles when expansion between the aluminum and iron expand causing the pins to separate from the surfaces and they become full floating. The Audi R8 uses the same style rotors as the GT3 to reduce hub weight.

OEM rears, PFC 2 piece rotors. First time is expensive after that you re use the hats and buy rotors. Call clark or linda at APex performance.

Good honest people
