Does anyone know if there are OEM Porsche iron rotors that can be used to replace the ceramic rotors that come with the 997.2TT S? I'd like to keep the calipers and use a 380mm iron rotor. I realize there are aftermarket rotors that will work, but was wondering if there was a Porsche part as well.

 

Why?

 

The 2010 GT3 have 380mm floating steel rotors, you may ask for them from your Porsche dealer and see they fit your PCCB calipers.

 

Big question: why?

Thanks, venka.

Your are welcome.
Let me know when you swap out your PCCB rotors.
I may be interested in the rotors.

 

I’m pretty sure the GT3‘s will not fit on a Turbo... different offsets...I too fried my ceramics at the track. Getting ready to buy Brembo PCCB direct replacement rotors...

Try Sharkwerks....

 

I think I've found the answer to my question. I was just at Mid-Ohio with the Buckeye BMWCCA and was hanging with some of the Porsche guys there. One had a 997.2 GT3 RS and had replaced the carbon rotors with iron. He used Porsche 997 GT3 Cup rotors - they dropped right in. They are slotted, not drilled.

 

Remember a GT3RS isn’t four wheel drive...the offsets are different. Take a close look at your hats and compare those to the GT3/RS versions....they are quite a bit shallower.

I just ordered the Brembo rotors yesterday to replace my ceramics.

I saw on another post you do 20 track days a year....have your ceramics held up for all 20 days? I was able to 7 track days (about 20 hours) out of mine and a total of 7,400 miles.

 

Thank you for reminding me about the offsets; AWD changes everything.

I don't have the ceramics yet - just planning for a possible future event .

Only 7 track days on your ceramics? That is disappointing. I currently run Girodisc 350mm slotted rotors on my 996TT and a front set lasted an easy 20 days.

 

I've been reading similar threads with interest since I joined the forum. I have ordered a TT S which comes with the PCCB's as standard. In Oz they are a Aud$20,590 option on the regular TT. I believe a replacement set would be in the region of Aud$40,000.

So the thought of taking the PCCB's off and replacing them with some steel ones and then refit the PCCB's when it's time to sell the car has crossed my mind.

 

Take off and replace with steel if you are going to track your car...then put them back on when its time to sell...that’s what I have been told to do. If you don’t plan on tracking your car, no need to worry.

I was told this when I attended my first TD with this car. I actually didn’t think I could drive my car hard enough to toast the rotors...but low and behold I did in 7 days, which also happens to be the average life of PCCB’s if you’re tracking for the average Joe wantabe racer/weekend warrior : )

Its also important to keep your PCCB pads sync’d with each rotor and mark them for inside and out placement when its time to re-install.

 

what is the approximate cost to replace pccb pads and rotors? how long do these typically last if you are not tracking your car?

 

I checked with my local dealer after their Tech said I need to replace them or stop going to track. They quoted me $7,600 each for the fronts rotors, and $5,400 each for the rears....$26K for rotors alone...I didn’t even ask how much pads were after he gave me those numbers. I stopped at the Chevy dealer on my way home out of curiosity to see what the replacement cost for the front Ceramics on the Corvette would be...$1,200 a piece. I seriously considered trading in my TT for a ZR1 at that point but didn’t want to take the hit... ITS A GREAT CAR (vett), but just not for me. However I would love to drive/try one at LS or Infineon...that might seal the deal.

More power, less money, quicker lap times...

PS: I have been told the ceramics should last the life time of your vehicle if you use it as your daily driver.
