Default GT3 rotor alternative

Check out these rotors..!
2+ times the life of the factory cross drilled rotors, better performance, less weight and less money..!!

We've tested them under race conditions for the last 6 months and have outlasted the factory ones with way better performance. We recomend Pagid Black RS-14 pads for track use. These are 1 LB. less than the stock rotors.
Introductory price of $695 per set for the front.

Picture says 996 Cup and GT3 Street, but they also fit 997 GT3 street cars.

I've never run Pagid black on the front of my GT3. What were your test findings when running Pagid 19s on these rotors?

Fine performance from the 19 and 29 as well. No issues.

Pete I have run both the 19 F&R, 19F 14R, and 14F&R and the braking power of the 14 F&R is un-f'in-believable!

I have since moved to the PFC pads and will NEVER look back. But you can't go wrong with either Pagid or PFC.

Rick, as a data point (if you are collecting them), I have run both the PFC dimpled direct drive 2-piece rotors as well as the Motorsport line and the weights (fronts only for the GT3) are 18# for dimpled non-motorsport (350x32mm) and 20# (350x34mm)for the motorsport slotted setup.

The stock cup cross drilled discs are 21.5# front and 20# rear. (not sure about the mm widths)

I loved the pagid black on my 04 GT3 cup, excellent choice. Did not wear too fast and had plenty of bite.

Hey Mike,

Just looked in the Factory 05 Cup CD and the brake pad is listed as RS-14 with a Porsche part #. So, the Blacks are the exact same as the factory green P40.

I looked that info up too and there is conflicting data. The green ones are actually higher friction and wear out the rotor and pads faster from my experience. I think you can only buy the greens through Porsche.

The Green Front pads are P50, which is more comparable to the more agressive Grey RS15.
Rear Pads are RS14 as per the Factory manual. It has always been my understanding that P40 were virtually identical to RS14.
