Suggestion
Performance Friction do an aftermarket steel option which I've used and would recommend based on track work, but perhaps overkill for road (PF discs and pads as a combo were generally noisier than OEM).

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.
0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Alcon did an upgrade which was available exclusively via JZM. It was a floating rotor. I think it had a slightly larger diameter than standard and therefore needed a small spacer for the caliper and new longer caliper bolts. I had a set on my 996 GT3RS.
Moderator edit: no advertising
I had the JZM Alcon combo on mine. NSF keeps coming loose though.
I’ve ditched them now and have standard one piece discs as I don’t track the car.
I’ve fitted Fremax discs in the standard size. Official supplier to Porsche Cup Brazil (which may or may not mean much
)
Still fantastic stopping power as I’ve left the RS29 pads in.

Any decent German brand will be fine for road use. Porsche discs are supplied by SHW and they only supply Porsche so you wont get true OEM discs outside of OPC
I used to use Zimmerman discs (OEM supplier I believe) for both road and track on my 996.2 GT3
Never had an issue with them and used to be pretty cheap buying them from fvd.net

Not necessarily correct.
I got my hands on a full set of SEBRO discs from Germany and they carried the Porsche label on the boxes.
