What it means?. I saw your previous postings said you were running out of your brakes.

I am looking for the same solution as the OE one piece is WAYYY too heavy - almost 40 lbs per rotor and cost a lotttt of money.

If you are talking "Turbo S" front rotors, the OEM are two-piece, not one piece. And even though they have an aluminum hat they are still heavy as they are a 380mm rotor which is going to be heavy. If you find a rotor that is lighter, then it isn't going to be better but worse than OEM as your not going to really shave weight off the OEM design without loosing metal which is a heat sink, unless it's Carbon Fiber.

No, I have a 2009 Turbo and it's an one-piece 380x38 heavy rotor, it might have the same dimension as your two piece.

Your TS two piece will certainly be lighter but I can't imagine how much it costs being one piece costs around $650 a piece.

It shouldn't be a one-piece. '09 Turbo front rotors use the same part number as '06 Turbo S.

There are aftermarket one piece rotors but I haven't seen one in person. Definitely going to be heavier than the OEM 2 piece.

911PERVY, an eBay seller here in the UK lists Tarox drilled and grooved for the Turbo S (well atleas it says 500 BHP), good price too, check it out

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Porsche-Ca...item4ac188400d

Rears only in his shop but they have them for the strandard CTT 955 in both front and rear so drop him a line?

Rears arent a problem, its the fronts that everyone needs! Saying that they arent for a turbo S as they are too small! Porsche Turbo S rears are only £268 the pair

The are many sellers listing discs for the turbo S on ebay, none of them will fit!

Sorry, saw the 380mm and just assumed.

I was considering this seller for the regular Turbo to add a bit of visual effect but will have to check the size now, thanks for the heads up

EBC does make some rear rotors for the Turbo S (356mm/14.1"). It is there GD1497 which is drilled and slotted or the UPR1497 which is a plain rotor similar to OEM. EBC also make a front rotor replacement but it retails for more than the OEM rotor, it is the USR1697 or the GD1697. Kind of pricey, the rear rotors from EBC can be found for less than OEM but not the fronts?

I just found them on their website. They are listed under Porsche Cayenne Turbo (500bhp) as opposed to Porsche Cayenne Turbo (450bhp). They are listed at the proper diameters 15" & 14.1", they are fond of the fronts as they want over $2500 for a pair, I can get OEM discounted for $1000 a pair.
