PA safety inspection...failed!!

[Darren]

Several guys on Rennlist are using ATE front rotors, for the Cayenne, on their GT3's. 

Front Left Fitment

Price: $130.00 (each)
Estimated Availability: Fewer than 2
Manufacturer Part #: CW34123

Front Right Fitment

Price: $130.00 (each)
Estimated Availability: Fewer than 2
Manufacturer Part #: CW34124

I'm either going to try these or maybe the factory Cayenne S front rotors which have no slots or holes.

Thanks for all the input, guys. (You too, Bob)

I'll figger something out and get the car passed

Kenny,

This may sound like a lot of work and a PITA, but you could always have a street set of rotors and a track set.... sort of like street and track brake pads.  Those Protosports I mentioned earlier are huge, thick rotors and really absorb the heat well.  And, rotors are an easy swap.   Just my .02 cents.   

[Terry]

IIRC, DeMan rotors and Protosports were about the same price, around $300 each or maybe a little more. Stockers were much more, like $500. Maybe you could post what they are all now asking.

What's wrong with $130/rotor Terry?

[Terry]

Nothing except if you want to stop the car.

[Darren]

So you're skeptical that the ATE rotors will work?

[KennyB]

Stock @ Suncoast $560/pair

DeMans I believe were about $600/pair when I last checked.

Protosport prices aren't on their website

Girodisc 2-piece $1100+ /pair

Another (more lenient) inspector...about $40

George, actually I had planned to upgrade the brakes, but I want to do it when I'm really ready to take advantage of the upgrade. I plan to try to upgrade the driver first, probably going to BR with Eric and Jack in April. Eventually I will likely go with slotted rotors. Mike Pechstein has mentioned a very good set-up which he has on his cup car.

I have read good things about the ATE Cayenne rotors, but haven't really looked into that angle.

[Terry]

Actually, Darren, I don't know anything about the ATE rotors except I replaced the rotors on our Touareg (I assume the same pieces) and they seemed really heavy. Maybe the power of suggestion.

[Darren]

Yes I have heard they are heavier.  I'll have to buy some and weigh them.
