Default aftermarket rotors >>

Hey guys,

Anyone have luck with aftermarket rotors? Looking at rotors like Zimmerman or Sebro for a non-tracked GT3.




I just want to know if anyone dares to not spend thousands and thousands on rotors for a DD GT3.

Thanks for the advice!

should be be fine for street and rear brake use.

I've used Zimmermann rotors on four or five previous street-only Porsches with excellent results, never a crack. I'm replacing my original GT3 rotors (with 40K miles) this Spring with a set of Zimmermanns and Hawk HPS pads. That combination has worked perfectly for me in the past as a "HP Street" setup.

The only downside with the Zimmermanns is that you'll need to paint the hubs so they won't rust. Easy to do with some rattle can medium gray Rustoleum.

Pelican Parts has the best price on Zimmermanns (and Sebros) that I've come across so far. Let me know if you find a better deal.

I converted my 997.2 rs to 5 lug and for the rears use centric rotors. Can't beat it for $100 each side.

I went with the Essex design AP racing set. It's superb.

I use the cheap cayenne rotors on .1. About $100 a piece. Work great

I use centric slotted rears and blank fronts no issues about 250 a set of 4. Cayenne S and panamera TT fitments work
