More options are certainly better...

I'd also consider running the 997TT rear caliper, as it is supposed to be a stronger caliper. I believe Tom Kerr is running it.

While my car is being repaired due to the groundhog incident, I'm going to go ahead and put the new 997TT front rotors on, as my slotted 350MM Coleman rotors have started to burn thru parts of the slotted surface, down to the primary surface... I guess 15 track days on them is enough.

I'll send one out to get replacements made over the fall/winter.

I've heard from the GT3 guys that the Protosport rotors last very long, like Kato said. Can't wait to hear more info.

It boils down to the proper hat offset... If they make the right hat for the 996TT, then all is good. Otherwise you'll have to do what I did or buy a pair of GT3 uprights and bolt them onto your car to get GT3 rotors to work.

How much was the GT3 uprights? How extensive is the job?

They aren't cheap, but you could get a price qoute from Suncoast Steve... Here's the deal though... You're coming out ahead by getting a 996TT specific brake hat. Once you've done that, getting the rotors is a phone call and delivery within 48 hours. You can save that money spent on uprights/knuckles and put it towards the suspension.
