Default PF rotors with OEM pads?

Searched but didn't find. Anyone using PF 2 piecs rotors with OEM pads. I emailed Steve Wu at OG Racing about the disclaimer for PF rotors that warns other manufacturer's pads may not fit and he said it mostly applied to Beemers but didn't know if the stock pads would hit.

Anyone have first-hand knowledge if OEM pads, or other manufacturer's street pads for that matter, will fit without having to grind off part of the pad to clear?

Oh yea - it's a 02 996 C2

Are these the rotors with larger hats that won't clear most pads?

I know you want to sell me the Girodiscs but there is a HUGE price difference between the two.

What you have there is the SAME size rotor, no additional benefits form any size increase.

The GDs come with spacers. longer bolts, and a LARGER THAN 996TT sized rotor at 340mm...vs. the tiny 317.

Overall about 250 diff for a much beefier setup with more mass - as well as additional parts in the kit.

I agree, those rotors don't seem to provide any better braking than the stock units in your C2 really...What kind of wheels are you running? You could look at moving up the Big Reds (from a C4S....like mine If you really want to stick with OEM like price/setup.
