I Wont Stop Making 996TT Parts - New Project
 
Not gonna give any details right now except 996TT guys are going to be pumped when they have monster 350mm rotors! Stay tuned and keep reading.

Sneak pics of the rear 996TT kit with 997TT 350mm rotor with stock caliper.

Not to belittke but its a 10mm spacer with 997tt bolts and oem discs...

joyride 09-10-2010 06:15 AM

how about some cheaper solid 997TT rotors? GT3 guys are using Cayenne rotors for 120 a pop...

Mark @ AIM Performance 09-10-2010 07:01 AM

how much is that bracket. can that be done for the front too?

Brad Bedell 09-10-2010 08:08 AM

Do these clear stock wheels?

From my experience with making big brake kits on the 3000gt, you'll want to widen that bracket as much as needed to mate to the stock mounting surface. I had a nasty time with noise unless the footprint for the caliper was wide enough.Great idea! I'm in need of rotors/pads in the next 10k miles; I know what I'm doing...

Basic - If it was always that easy, Home Depot would have a Performance car part section.

Joyride - $120/rotor... that is cheap. Unfortunately we will never make rotors. We sell the better 2pc Brembo rotors that last 3 times longer then stock.

Prodigy - Pricing coming soon... We will have front and rear.

Brad - Yes they clear stock 18" wheels.

Produce some sort of adapter that will allow 996 TT hub to use Gt3 offset rotors? that might not be that hard to produce.

vividracing 09-13-2010 09:16 AM

The GT3 and 997TT use the same 350mm rotor. There is a different annulus however to them which the Turbo needs to run the turbo rotor.

vividracing 09-13-2010 09:35 AM

I am not talking about cheap 1pc rotors, I am talking about Brembo's 2pc rotor...

Just finished the fronts :)

These will be hard anodized, laser engraved, and include bolts. Rotors can be purchased seperately too :)

Slider 09-13-2010 03:29 PM

I would suggest that you increase the width of your adapter to perfectly match the width and shape of the caliper so it doesn't look so obvious that there is an adapter there. Right now, it looks like you just bolted something in between that was not intended to be there. Just a design suggestion to make it look like a better fit...

Your mechanic is having an off day. Rotor installed incorrectly. He installed left side on the right side.


Basic, thats pretty much much what it is. I did it for the rear to install the 997tt rotor. My bracket was much closer to tolerence though.

vividracing 09-13-2010 04:48 PM

That was for pictures only to test fit. Not installed on that car actually.

Good looking out though!

NathanialHale 09-13-2010 05:27 PM

Dan, come on man, it is that easy... And guys it's not a 10MM spacer. It's a 12mm spacer that can be sourced thru any steel/aluminum flatstock supplier. Mike Kelly and Al Norton did this with their rear calipers, and the fronts are pretty much the same... $50 in materials plus the bolts from your porsche dealer...

Such spooky stuff... Guess we peeked behind the curtain to see the mighty oz. :rolleyes:
