I haven't tried them, but when I was picking up some parts from TRG I asked about them and they said they have a few customers running them and one that tracks alot and he is really happy with them. I talked to a few other shops and everything I heard was positive about them.

I just purchased a new GT3 brake kit front and rear with discs all around for my 996TT, when I go through those discs I will give these a try. The pricing seems good on these rotors compared to the Brembos.

If you try them let us know how they work out.

Hey Oak been using them for a while on the 997 and the pricing is pretty good considering what you can do for all fours. Drop me a note (will be on the road tomorrow though) and I'll see if I can get you what you need as well.

They work well, a customer has them on a Gallardo TT with no problems.

thanks guys, it was these or the PFC's. has anyone have any experience with the PFC's? from what I understand the PFC's are pad specific and can not use Pagid pads. Although I have heard nothing but good about the PFC pads. From what I understand the Giro are not pad specific and can utilize both pads... correct me if I am wrong.

other than overall quality, I was curious about the life span in comparo between the PFC's and Giro.

Craig, Couple of questions for you:

What is the EXACT cost of disc/ Hardware replacement?

What is the lifespan of the HAT?

What are the prices PER AXLE for both the 330MM and 350MM setups?

Thanks in advance for your reply...

Mike

Mike, fwiw, if you do this swap, you can upgrade to 350 rears and keep your parking brakes. I have been waiting for a disk like this that is reasonably priced. It's pretty hard to beat.

mose55 is infamous around these parts
So the disks are 350 vs 330...is there an adaptor for the stock caliper mounting to provide sufficient clearance?
