ATE Cayenne rotors for GT3 - Page 8

Track pads from my business, which is a $pon$or here on Rennlist: www.Rennstore.com

Sounds as if you'd be retaining the stock rear PCCB with stock pads and using an entirely different pad up front.
Watch for pad friction differences front & rear - ie be careful.

I'm about to toss on the ATE front rotors and give them a shot. I found one con right away....these suckers are heavy! Full thickness and no holes = a couple lbs heavier than my worn out cup rotors.

I'll probably drill one mounting hole. Probably won't bother with two holes unless I'm really accurate with my drilling jig.

Cheers,

I just installed the ATE rotors and when cleaning up the trash, I noted on the Tire Rack invoice part #CW34123 is for the front left and #CW34124 is for the right front.

I didn't realize the rotors were different; dumb me; I should have know better.

Does anyone know if there are identification or part nos. marked on the rotors? Otherwise how can I tell if I have the correct rotor in the proper location? If no one here can help, guess I will have to call Tire Rack.

HELP!!!

Look at the internal vane direction because it matters.

Go to your drivers side rotor and look at the internal vanes at the front of the car (rear has the caliper). When you look at the vanes at the front of the rotor, they should be facing upwards, as if you could fill them with water.

side note: I drilled a mounting hole for the little phillips screw and used a 1/4" through hole and a 7/16" counterbore in my drill press. Fits great!

Cheers,

in case you need more "visual" help in addition to the textual descriptions...

Any more experience with these rotors good or bad?

AllanJ · 10-25-2009, 01:58 AM

I've only had them on for 4 track days - 2 of those at a track that is extremely hard on brakes. They worked great. The season is over for me so I'll have to wait until next March to abuse them further.

I used mine for the first time at VIR which has two very high speed braking zones and they were perfect.
Met another GT3 driver there who has used them for 15 plus DE days and they're just starting to get some decent sized cracks.

Used mine last Friday. I think that MAYBE my floating Brembo rotors may have had just a bit better pedal feel, but if could be in my head too. They worked just fine. Chris Cervelli also drove the car quite a bit and also thought the brakes felt good.
