Look what the FedEx guy dropped off!! I won a contest last week on Facebook for a free set of Performance Friction pads and I went with the 01 compound pads for the front and rear. When the PFC rep called me to get some info on the car, I told him I was also interested in a set of rotors since my stockers are shot. He informed me they make a 2 piece front and rear rotor for our cars. After seeing how most of the race teams at the Daytona 24 Hour race were running their pads, rotors and calipers (including the #1 and #2 finishing DP cars), I knew they would hold up good.
First off, these things are absolutely GORGEOUS. very fairly priced as well; I think they're around the same price as the Racing Brake 2 piece rotors. Nothing against Racing Brake, but PFC has a very good reputation and is what really swayed me to running their equipment.
I cannot wait to run these in two months at Sebring. Along with their pads and rotors, I will be running Castrol SRF brake fluid and flushing out my ATE super blue just to be safe.
Big thanks to Alex and Chris at PFC. If you all want to pick up a set give Alex Leonard a call; he is a stand up guy and will take care of you.

i dont think their website has our rotors updated in their parts catalog, so you'll have to call. here is their number, 800-521-8874 , ask for Alex Leonard and tell him Scott with the CTS-V sent you. He'll take care of you!
for those concerned about the price; these will hold up better and last you longer than the crappy blanks you buy for $400 total; and once you buy the full setup, you only have to buy the rings later on and just mount them to the hat you already have. That's what really sold me on these. I'd rather not swap out rotors after every other track event b/c they are totally shot or warped.
I was also thinking we could get a group buy set-up with a little discount if we get a group of guys interested for these rotors... and I know they have a massive big brake kit in the works, that is even lighter than the stock calipers...

lighter rotating mass, better cooling channels in the rotor, rotor itself runs cooler due to better ventilation and the aluminum hat heat dissipation, better pad wear and better rotor wear, longer rotor life, less prone to warp... thats just all i can think of off the top of my head.
EDIT: oh yeah, and they look F&#@ing BAD ***. lol

A guy who introduced me to Texas World Speedway this summer has had his rotors and pads on his 335i for three years worth of tracking and daily driving. He has gone through 3 sets of tires, fluids for the car and himself, and track fees. I can't imagine that anyone making <$100K/yr is going to jump on this anytime soon.

I'm not knocking on your free contest winnings of an $1800 rotor set w/pads. But who in their right mind that daily drives and tracks for fun three to four times a year would spend $1800 on a set of rotors? Especially if the selling point is that after two of those track events, you have to replace them! If your warping rotors or trashing them after 40-50mi. worth of tracking every other month, you have other issues to handle than re-purchasing an $1800 set of rotors.

You must of misunderstood him. These rotor will far exceed 12+ track days depending on the driver. Ive seen the same rotors on a similar set up on an evo with 01 track pads last 17 track days with proper ventilation
