Default rotors for 2010-2011 GT3 or GT3 RS

Context: tracking a 2010 GT3 RS.
I want to put the factory ceramic plates on the shelf where they belong.
Brembo is out of stock for a couple of weeks.
Anybody know of where there might be a set of slotted steel rotors available pronto? If not Brembo, maybe Alcon/AP/Stoptech/other, just so long as it's a proven bolt-on direct replacement rotor.
Thanks as ever!

Girodisc? I'm pretty sure Craig posted a couple weeks ago regarding having availability now for series 2 cars...

+1 on Girodisc. Excellent track choice and relatively cheap.

Just got a set of brembo front rotors from Vivid. Don't know current availability, but worth a call

That's the "Type III" slotted? And you're running RS29's? I'll email them now. Thanks.

Any other leads appreciated.

Yes on both counts. The brembo spec sheets state that they will replace both ceramic and steel rotors for 7.2 3 and RS

Without trimming the pads to clear the hats annulus?

I'm about to buy my 3rd set of front rotors, these have 6 hard days at Sebring, 2 easy days at Barber.
Going to Road ATl and VIR in April and I think I will need new fronts soon after that, depending on what track I go to.

I will post here what I find. Orbit is looking for me and has hats and slotted rotors almost ready..
I told him, I don't want to buy special shaped pads. OEM size must fit as-is.
I might try different pads as well. The pagid R29 start feeling like crap when they are only 6 days old, or 50%.

Peter and Adam the funny thing is knowing both of you if you ever got together for a drink it would be an epic event... Adam bring your *** down here and run Sebring / Daytona later this year.

It would be good to have a definitive thread on steel replacements for PCCBs ... Pads etc ... I for one am very confused, who has rotors that fit with caliper shimming, and what pads fir without trimming or shimming ...
