StoptechEric, what is the hub bolt pattern for your ceramic rotors and what sizes do they come in?

Edit: Sorry just found them in a pdf on the stoptech site finally.

They will be standard sized friction rings in the same sizes as our iron setups.

328x28mm, 332x32mm, 355x32mm and 380x32mm with the same 10 bolt flange to mount to our existing hats.

Still undergoing testing. We have had good luck with a pagid compounds for street and light track and their RS29 race compound for more serious track use, but were hoping that standard pads will be compatible, just need osme more time to be able to say for sure.

Wow....! 10K for one rotor! lets see...10K x 4 = 40K...this is more expensive than my Z Wait until I get 911 GT2. Anyhow, seems to me Greddy is one of the lightest and is within my reach, financially.... I have OEM Brembo, is GREX better than OEM Brembo? Or should I just upgrade the rotor and pad? Besides, it starts making squeaky noise now. I really appreciate any suggestion/opinnion/experience sharing.

$10,000 is for all four rotors. $15,000 is for all four rotors and all four calipers.

Correct me if I'm wrong but won't these last longer than the life of the car? $15k and I'm sure well worth it for a every weekend racer!!!

Under daily driving conditions, they should last about 100K miles, but on a track car, that will not be the case. Part of our testing is determinig expected lifespan of parts used on the track and in racing applications.

Do you have any normal pics without the 'glamshot' camera-on-the-ground fisheye distortion? I feel like I'm looking at a cartoon story board. Thx.
