Hummm...I'm gonna bump this to see if anyone has run there rotors.

Has everyone been using cross drilled rotors for track days?
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 haven't had any luck finding slotted rotors ( or solid ) for a 99 996. CDOC says they will be getting some for the fronts sometime soon. Not rears. That's about it.
Has everyone been using cross drilled rotors for track days?
Maybe if we drum up enough interest it will light a fire under some rotor manufactures foot to make rears too.
Any cool ideas for trackwheels that will fit a narrowbody. Something light and not $3000 would be good.

Dimpled vs. drilled is better for track use. Anyone have a weight on these compared to the OEM rotors?

reviving the dead.. anyone try these brakeperformance rotors?? about to order OEM's and curious about trying these if they are at least equal to stock or better.
The black dimpled & slotted ones look appealing! Did anyone try these out yet? I was able to find info on ebay about them. More than 95% (approx) were positive with no negative reviews in the last 12 months. That is nice and all, but I want a review from someone that has actually used them for at least 6 months.
For what its worth, I gave up on the idea when I saw how inexpensive it was to purchase the OEM rotors from Sunset. Even if they develop cracks relatively quickly, you can almost get 2 sets of OEMs from them for the price of one set of slotted.
Patrick... agree completely and is what I have been doing and will be doing. Was just seeing if anyone had tried these since for the price if they hold up like OEM or perform even a little better then they are totally worth it. Anyway, back to OEM
Check to see if GT3 cup brake ducts fit on your car. The extra cooling reduces the incidence of cracks on my GT3. Also use Pagid RS 19 pads in front and RS 14 in the rear. This improves brake balance which is overly front biased on the 996 and by letting the rears do more work, the front rotors last longer.
best,
