GT2 Brake Rotors

It is time to replace the rotors on my GT2 and was wondering if anyone knew of a source where I could purchase them. The dealers price is pretty steep. Has anyone done a conversion to regular turbo calipers and rotors? Thanks for your input.

There are quite a few people who have converted over to steel disks. If I recall there's a company who makes a steel disk conversion that retains the PCCB calipers, so it's minimal work in changing over.

I'm sure others will post but i'll do some quick digging for you.


just a quick search popped up many. Here's one that keeps the front calipers but changes the rear. GT3 bits...

GT2 Brake Rotors

If I use the GT3 steel rotors what brake pads do I use that will work with my existing calipers? Thanks for your help.

Not sure I've ever seen a used set that 'affordable'.
