The 350 rotors are nice. I wouldn't waste my money on the brake lines. The OEM lines are good...

I felt the same, but bit the bullet just because what is on there is 12-13 years old. So if I'm are already doing rotors and pads, why not refresh the lines. That's sort of become a theme all around, unless I'm in a situation where a used McLaren 12C/650 is in the budget I don't really plan on getting rid of the car anytime soon. Refreshing the little bits along the way just gives me some piece of mind that the car is in top shape.

Was just going to chime in on the SS brake lines as well :-)

Makes sense, though, DSCOFF.

Think I'm going to go the same route ..

Did you source the bolts and spacers from somewhere ? If so where ? Can you PM what you paid for the rotors etc. ? Need to start shopping around.

Thanks.

For all of you doing updates if anyone has a nice set of stock 996TT calipers and rotors I'm looking for those.

As a data point for the thread I put Sebro slotted 350mm rotors on last fall and the quality was very nice. German made.

Is there a difference between 997.1 and 997.2 rotors? I'm seeing different part numbers on Pelican and slightly different costing so I was curious if there were notable differences or not. When I do this I suspect i won't be able to swing GiroDisc nor Brembo 2piece so I'm looking at more stock type replacement rotors.

OS Inspector how did your rotors turn out from Adams? Sebro seems a good middle of the road supplier for street use so far as I can tell.

Pwdrhound - funny when I was researching various part numbers I'm finding that RacingBreak has apparently felt the need to post their link back to Rennlist attacking you in multiple places. Methinks they doth protest too much lol
