Joe,
All GT3 stock rotors 996 or 997 were 66MM swept area. 66MM swept area uses PFC 0991.08.17.44 or Pagid 2707. You can use PFC 7819 on the 66MM rotor and it works fine but leaves a rust ring just above the hat. However you cannot use the 0991 pad with a PFC 60MM swept area rotor. Cup car front rotors were shortened to 63MM in 2005 and must use Pagid 8004 or PFC 7819.
Regarding 350MM and 380MM rotors running the same pads and calipers.....seems illogical to me
but it works. 996GT3 and 997.1GT3 use 350MM rotors and the calipers are the same as the 997.2 GT3 with 380MM rotors.

Another question. Do most people run a more aggressive pad on the front or the rear or equal on both ends? Trying to decide what compound(s) to buy.
Finally does anyone have a DIY on pad swap front and rear? I hear it's tricky on the rear for the 997.
