971 Turbo (red caliper) Rotors and breaks

So I just did my first track day at Sebring with my 2017 Panny Turbo... great time! But, my front pads and rotors are looking nearly spent....

I have used multiple search engines, as well as the search function here and rennlist.... no luck. I cant seem to find the 410mm front rotors for sale anywhere online except from Porsche dealers. $1200+ for a pair of front rotors just seems insanely expensive!

https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/SKU971TTFRS.html

Anyone have a different source they use for the rotors (and pads while on the topic)?

FCP Euro also has OEM rotors at $472 each. They have a lifetime warranty on all the parts they sell, including pads and rotors. You buy the first set from them. When those are done you order another set and return the first set for a full refund. Same with pads. Not a bad deal if you expect to go through several sets of brakes.

This sounds awesome! However, it appears they only sell the rear rotors.... doesn’t appear they have the front ones for the 410mm Turbo.

I see that. Bummer. It might be worth a quick email. They are local to me and are good people to deal with.

Sorry i missed your reply earlier...

The price looks great, but I am not sure its the 410mm rotor that I need... it lists iterations of the Panamera that do NOT use 410mm rotors as equally compatible. I’ll give them a call to see exactly what’s up since they dont offer much of a description of the product.

Follow up on pelican.... as I suspected, the above rotors are NOT the 410mm needed for the turbo. The pelican rep said she would call the Centric rep and figure out what they do have that’s comparable. That was yesterday. Never heard back, so I’ll be moving on from Pelican. Too bad, that would have been the best price out there.

Kudos to FCP Euro... best communication via email Ive seen yet from any parts supplier. They’ve reached out to a supplier and will be adding the rotors to their website soon. Ill post a link once its live.

Meanwhile, here are the other parts needed for a front brake job and the OEM prices from Porsche Tyson Corner (Vienna VA), which are the best Ive found from a P-dealer so far:
