Can you list the part numbers for the 997tt rotors that you use with the pccb calipers?

Which pads do you use? Any issues with the sensors?

The 997 Turbo part numbers are:
997 351 405 01
997 351 406 01

For a street car, I recommend the Pagid RS29 yellows. They will work great for strong spirited driving. If you want something for full on track, do the RS19 Yellow with the R14 black in the rear.

Do I also need the a set of pads(of 997tt??) for steel rotors or I can use the the from PCCB?

Thanks!

smdubovsky is infamous around these parts

You need new pads. Don't know if the stock 997tt pads fit, but there are lots of aftermarket pads to work in the pccb calipers. I used a track compound at the track (PFC01?) but it would be totally inappropriate for street driving (dusts & squeaks like CRAZY!)
