Suggestion
Not sure if they have fitments for a Cayman S (assuming yes) but they are built for competition and once they wear, you have the option of replacing the wear rings for significantly less than complete rotors...

Yeah if you’re a serious track runner, BBK or bespoke setups are the go (and can be cheaper in the long run)

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.

I need new rotors on my, new to me, 987.1 Cayman S.
Much as my natural instinct is to fit oversized, alloy centered rotors, sanity is prevailing (for now)
Unless someone can suggest a better option, or source, I’m about to order in a set of 4 drilled Zimmerman rotors at Repco. $1322.
comments?
Cayman S has beefier brakes than standard, so they should cope well on track days, with pads and high temp brake fluid, they should be fine.
X 2 for Masterparts.
Is that for a set of 4 tomo? (each corner of the car).
12 months ago I replaced front and rear rotors and pads on my ex 997.1 C2S. Pretty sure they were around $1200.00.
If you can source Zimmerman discs for cheaper than Masterparts, go for it.
They sure have gone up in price over 12 months.
Not sure how you use your vehicle but my go to for track use is PFC. Not sure if they have fitments for a Cayman S (assuming yes) but they are built for competition and once they wear, you have the option of replacing the wear rings for significantly less than complete rotors... The distributor is in NSW (Competition Friction).
Yep , front and back the pads wack $ on top though. It looks there was some a bit cheaper, $ 286 a side for fronts $245 a side for rears . Plus 345 for pads so a hundred out
😀
I’m only an occasional track day user, so was just commenting on standard setup’s being ok for track duty occasionally, with better pads and high temp brake fluid.
Yeah if you’re a serious track runner, BBK or bespoke setups are the go (and can be cheaper in the long run)
🙂
OP might want to let us know what type of driving he does.
Perfectly reasonable suggestion for the purpose you've proposed. Standard setups with high temp brake fluid are more than adequate for track days... To upgrade beyond that definitely has some serious cost associated and you have to be at a level to benefit from them.
