Two piece rotor that will work with stock caliper?

My brake pads need to be replaced and I planned on doing it next weekend. While I was doing it, I planned to change the rotors to two piece rotors. Are there any two piece rotors that will work with my stock 997S calipers? I need to purchase some ASAP. Thanks.

Performance Friction makes a 2 piece set for 997S and they are the only ones.

2 piece slotted rotors are expensive but if you are going through rotors from track use every few months they they will pay off. Other than that you do not need them for street use and the Performance Friction race pads that go with them are not designed for street use.

I don't track the car. I will be using them for daily driving.

No offense but why are you upgrading the rotors if its a daily driver? I track mine a couple times a year and the stock rotors are great (just switch out a set of aggressive pads for racing).

Upgrading rotors isnt necessary unless you track it or push it on the streets.

Trust me the stock red 997S brakes and calipers will stop the car more than enough. You will never be able to use the braking power on the street. 2 Piece rotor will offer NOTHING in performance on the street.

If you just want the looks of the 2 piece rotor check out the Performance Friction rotors for racing. That is all the will be a direct fit. They are slotted instead of the holes in the rotor and come only for the front. There is no 2 peice rotor for the rear of a 997S.

I would suggest these. I mean, why screw around, two piece rotors all around and no more break dust! Available at Suncoast Porsche for only $13,225.00!
