Performance Friction 996TT Replacement Disc Proposal

Performance Friction 996TT Replacement Disc Proposal
Hello everyone!
We have been working with PFC (Performance Friction) over the past several weeks on an offering for Floating disc assemblies (Discs, Hats and hardware) to replace your stock Rotors.
We are looking at a price point of about $ 2,200.00 for front and rear. The rears will have a "drum" to accommodate the stock E-brake. We will probably be offering a "package deal" which will include pads in an effort to make the overall cost more attractive. We need 20 orders to get this off the ground.
For those not familiar with Performance Friction, PFC discs have become the standard at the highest levels of professional motorsports. PFC discs are used throughout Nascar with this attachment system, which was developed specifically to eliminate vibration, pulsation, cracking, and excessive weight. They're used by many of the Cup, Nationwide, and Truck teams including Roush Racing, Yates Racing, Evernham, KHI, and many others. PFC discs are also used throughout the highest levels of road racing including by the majority of Daytona Prototype, Koni Challenge, Atlantic, Formula Nippon, JGTC, F3, Star Mazda, and former Cart competitors to name a few. Ganassi Racing has used them to win multiple DP Championships, and the 24 Hours of Daytona 3 years in a row. In GT500, 60% of the field ran PFC discs in 2008, while 93% were on PFC pads. As for F1, it is the only non carbon brake disc package on the track.....as they are used on the AMG Pace car!
It should also be noted that each and every component found around the globe bearing the Performance Friction name was produced in house at one production facility in Clover, South Carolina, and was manufactured under the most stringent quality standards in the industry.
Looking for a show of hands to get a feel for where we might be.
Thanks!

Glad to see you on 6 speed now Michael. I hope this product drums up the support that I think it is hard to deny it deserves.
How soon could these be available once you/PFC see enough interest?
Just to give us an idea about the amount of road/track car guys using PFC rotors, how long have they been available say for the GT3's (996/997) and about how many cars are out there running them?
What other road going cars are also proving to be popular runners of PFC rotors?

Thanks for the warm welcome boss351.
Once we have 20 confirmed orders, it will take about 7 weeks for production.
As far as the GT3s are concerned, PFC has been making disc assemblies for years. There are hundreds out there. Not to mention the 1999-2005 Porsche 996 C2/C4/Boxster S applications.
As far as other road/track going cars are concerned...
Nissan GT-R, please see pics in link below. This is exactly the same design as we are proposing for the 996TT

That's just to mention comparable 2-piece disc assemblies. PFC of course makes numerous replacement discs.

+1 for PFC.
I have used a variety of different track pads on various cars. None had the pedal feel and bite of the PFC.
It is my "go to" pad for track days.

Great to hear!

Can one purchase just the rears only and be a part of the group buy. I just purchased the replacement front rotors from Brembo so the timing was off a little for that end of the car.

Hi Chris, the pads will not be included for that price. We will be offering a "package deal" however. We are up to about 8 committed, we still need more guys/gals to commit.
Replacement Disc price will be a little less than $ 300.00 ea
Thanks
