I installed a set of ATE 350mm rotors on my GT3 last year. These are Cayenne rotors that many 6GT3 folks have been using as a direct replacement for the facotry cross-drilled rotors. They are a great alternative, although about 2lbs heavier.
I have over a dozen weekends on them, probably more like around 15-16, although a few of these were double stints with a budy in a lower run group. I also put on new pads (PFC-06) at the same time.
The pics below show that these things last and last. I can probably make another weekend or 2. However, they are now at the point where they need to be checked after every session for anything crazy. In the head-on pics, the flash makes the cracks look much worse than they really are. However, the rotors still feel flush to the touch and I didn't find any cracks that cought my fingernails. Also, the rotors have no noticeable lip. As for the pads, they are still going strong as well.
I recently ordered a replacement set of rotors (front and rear) from amazon for $207 SHIPPED. I also grabbed a set of PFC-01s (front and rear) for $585 from a board sponsor. That's under $800 for rotors and pads that will last me a year. Great value!
Rears (OEM) went on a year ago as well, and they will likely never die.

You obviously are not braking hard enough. ![hiha](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/roflmao.gif)
No really, I just put a set on my buddys 996 GT3 club racer. They look really nice and he goes through rotors like crazy, so we will see.
