"wet or dry' talk is silly. Every porsche in the last 40 years has
had brakes strong enought o lock up the tires at any speed, so
more brakes means nothing. The limiting factor is tire traction.
That being said, *I* would have ordered them for the lightness,
if they were available when I bought my car.

have you tried them? properly bedded they bite harder and are much better in the rain as they bite thru the wet adn steel do not, steel needs to dry the rotor first.
Arnaud,
if your pads are "glazed" they wont bite cold or wet. heavy multiple brakings speed to 5 mph may clear it up, or new pads needed.
additional nicety for us wheelwaxers, your wheels are clean all the time, no black dust.
i have 16,000 miles on 3 Gt2's now with no issues, but i would not order them as an option, as heavy track use has caused problems. schatz motorsports has factory rebuilds for 1/2 new, but they are still $$$ if you ruin them.

essentially a flat surface) is going to push water away any
quicker than another. If there is a difference in the number of
holes in the disks, that provide extra places for water to be
pushed into, then that might make a difference, but water
is incompressible, and if it is between the pad and rotor, it
doesn't make any difference what material they are made of,
the water has to be physically squeezed away before there
is any friction between pad and rotor.
