ATE Cayenne rotors for GT3 - Page 4

fhp911 · 06-02-2009, 04:38 PM

They aren't really CUTS; they are the slots. Presumably the designers are not worried about the proximity to the edge.

As for longevity -- a number of Listers have bought them for GT3 -- we'll have to see what we learn from track use.

I got 7 days from a Porsche Motorsports set of drilled. (Approx $700) I was very unhappy.

I got 11 days from the Farnbacher slotted ones. ($600) I was less unhappy

We'll see what I get from the Porsche/ATE Cayenne slotted ones. ($300)

AND everyone using them should give a report on their effectiveness and lifetime, PUH-LEASE.

Right, but slots *are* cuts, and that edge margin looks too close IMO.

Time will tell I suppose.

For what it is worth, I just picked up a set (to test) from Rudtner's for $95.95 each.

The rotors pictured are ATE "Power slot" rotors. I beleive the stock Cayenne rotors are not slotted. I have both sets and I will check on Monday.

Just when we thought we had the answer Tire Rack also has solid, no slots or holes, Centric 350mm rotors. Now what did I do with my ATE slotted rotors

But isn't our feeling that:

Drilled = BAD [they don't last long enough]
Slotted = GOOD [the slots help clean and vent the rotors]

??

Fellows,

I just installed my new ATE rotors onto my 6GT3. They went in with no problem.

An observation: As was noted by someone in an earlier post, the ATE/Cayenne rotors do not
have the 2 small holes for the Phillips head screws which hold the rotor in place prior to you
fastening the wheel. Thus, the new rotor can slip or possibly fall off while you are re-installing the caliper.

I solved that by screwing in two wheel lugnuts hand-tight into the rotor.

I'll have my first track outing next week.

So the wheel studs/bolts alone serve to locate and hold the disc on?

What, you think it's going to fall off once the caliper and brake pads are back on?? I just put it on since I'm still on lug bolts but once my conversion to stud will be done, do you think I will care less if I screw that little philips screw on or not??

fhp911 · 06-10-2009, 02:28 PM

Yes -- I confirm that that "the wheel studs/bolts alone serve to locate and hold the disc on."

But it's only for the few minutes in your garage between you putting the new rotor in place and you then re-install the caliper and finally fasten on the wheels.

IMO -- the phiilips head screws are useful but not important.
