Anyone here exchanged their 996 GT2 PCCB brake discs and pads, both front and rear, for steel discs and appropriate pads at all four corners ?
I'm storing my ceramic-composite discs and the original Pagid pads and looking for verifications and further info on what will install correctly when continuing to use the original YELLOW PCCB CALIPERS.
I think I have the needed info for the conversion at the front brakes BUT I am still looking for info and/or verifications on the conversion for the rear brakes.
Also, I won't ask for help doing this conversion a second time because I plan to keep purchase receipts and am writing the info on a "Conversion Worksheet" that will be kept in the file folder I have for the car.

996 GT2 PCCB front discs are 350mm X 34mm
996 GT2 PCCB rear discs are 350mm X 28mm

996 GT2 PCCB front pads are 190mmTall X 102mmWide with 18mmPadThickness and 66mmPadSurface (outer to inner)
996 GT2 PCCB rear pads are 121mmTall X 86mmWide with 18.5mmPadThickness and 61mmPadSurface (outer to inner)

Rear discs : Are the 997.1 Turbo rear discs the ones to get for my 996 GT2 ? Will they install correctly without ANY modifications to my yellow 996 GT2 PCCB calipers and clear and remain fully functional to the emergency handbrake shoes back there ?

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated while I continue to research the forums.
Thank you !

 

Yes. Just buy the 997 350mm rotors.

I converted my GT2's brakes to steel. I used Girodisk products and pagid racing pads.

They brake great and are relatively cheap!

 

Miller Motorsports in NC. is a great option that is not very expensive but works great. Just send them a front and rear rotor and that will make you new rotors to fit the PCCB hats. The rotors are less than $500 a set.

 

Appreciate all the suggestions gents...
..went with 350mm x 34mm front and 350mm x 28mm rear Sebros and Hawk front and Textar rear pads.
The PCCB rotors have 55k miles on them and still look like new but the front Pagid pads (black, RSC-1) were approaching minimum thickness.
Likely no more HPDE track events until spring so just some street driving until then...
I will follow-up here with specific rotor part numbers and whether or not the installation was a success once the pads arrive and I perform the exchange.

 

Hope you bought the gt3 350mm steel rotors up front. The turbo 35pmm are the wrong offset for gt2 spindles.

 

I bought 1 each of:
997.351.409.90 front disc
997.351.410.90 front disc
and
997.352.405.02 rear disc
997.352.406.02 rear disc

Supposedly, the fronts are also correct for 997 GT3 and the rears also correct for 997 Turbo.
flewis763 : I did verify with 3 vendors and Sebro themselves that the steel discs with part numbers beginning with 996 were for 996 Turbos and will have either a
different offset or are 330mm diameter for rears which makes them unusable at all 4 wheels on 996 GT2 with yellow PCCB Brembo calipers.
