White987S,in Australia try $8 large!Unfortunately the earlier PCCB rotors were prone to delamination with heavy track use,not all of them,just some.They developed an improved version from about 2004 onwards.Mine had some small areas of delamination on one rotor when I got it and despite some serious flogging it hasn't got any worse and it doesn't seem to perform or wear pads any differently to the other three.It just bugs me that it is not perfect like the rest of the car!Problem is that it seems like rotors should be replaced in pairs which doubles the pain.I guess I'm going to live with it for a while and see what happens.Ian

Loren,for information,the Porsche Centre knew nothing so I went on to the Pagid website.On there it says Pagid is the OEM for the 997 PCCB pads and their number is P40-3,so it's fairly safe to assume that they do the same for the GT2 and it's P40-2 as shown on mine.Phew,that's a relief!Ian :D

Loren,I need your advice.I just removed my PCCB front pads to check them and stamped on them is 'PAGID P 40-2'.Do pagid make a substitute for the OEM pads or has the previous owner put the wrong pads in?In 3000 miles and 5 track days they have performed well,i.e.normal temp,no fading,normal brake dust and pad wear.I am just about to order new pads so which way should I go? Also,local PCA told me the Gen 1 PCCB rotors are not available anymore as they have been superceded by an improved version and the old part number no longer exists.The service manager told me that when they have to replace a single rotor they use the new version without replacing the others.Common sense tells me that you would at least replace them in pairs,i.e.both front or both rear.What is your view on this?Ian

Hello All,My front R/H rotor has some delamination on it and as the other three are perfect I am looking for a replacement,either new or second hand.Problem is there are only a few PCCB cars in Australia so spares are non existent and a new OEM rotor is unbelievably expensive[probably 2 1/2 x the US price]. Can you recommend a US dealer that would have a reasonable price? A friend in San Diego is visiting in August and could bring it with him. Secondly,if I can find a used one will it have to be a Gen 1 to fit on my 2002 GT2?
