Performance Friction GTR Brake Rotors Are Here!

We are expecting the much anticipated Performance Friction Two-Piece Floating replacement brake rotor sets to arrive in the next two weeks. There are only a very limited number of these available from the first run, and then we will not see them again for at least 8 weeks. At the same time, we are looking forward to getting these first sets out there to forum members as we know the feedback on these discs will allow us to drive demand for further production. As such, we will be taking orders from forum members for the next week at a discount price of 15% off. If you order on our site, just pm us with your email address and we will email you a discount coupon.

Forum Price

Front Left $ 727.01
Front Right $ 727.01
Rear Left $ 774.82
Rear Right $ 774.82

The stock GTR rotors have proven themselves to be completely unsuitable for heavy track use, as have other replacements, and Performance Friction (PFC) has been receiving requests from around the globe to come up with a suitable solution. One more point of clarification is that the assemblies are a one time purchase. The discs themselves can be replaced at a cost of $473.80ea.


We will also be offering PFC high performance street pads, and the infamous 01 compound race pads for the GTR.

For those not familiar with Performance Friction, PFC discs have become the standard at the highest levels of professional motorsports. You will find PFC discs (and calipers, pads) in Nascar Sprint Cup, Nationwide, and Truck series and on a majority of current Grand Am Prototypes and Koni Challenge cars. They are currently the spec for the Star Mazda and Atlantic series, Formula Nippon, and formally in CART. The PFC 01 compound pads have consistantly proven themselves in applications where heat is an issue, which is the case with the GTR. Case in point is winning the last three Sprint Cup races at Martinsville, which is about as brutal as it gets.

These discs will offer a significant improvement in performance, durabity, and weight savings. We will provide the actual weight savings in the next day.

These are genuine GTR Disc assemblies.

Check out the weights! With the stock disc assemblies being 24.65 Each Front, and 25.9 lbs. each Rear, your getting a rotational and unsprung weight savings of over 9 lbs! This is made possible not only by the superior hat and attachment system design, but is also due to the legendary quality of PFC discs. You may find the all important issue of weight is not often discussed by the current suppliers of replacement discs for the production assemblies, as some are actually ADDING rotational and unsprung weight to your brake system!

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.
