Default Porsche Rotor on an F-bod

Anyone redrilled Porsche rotors for the f-body bolt pattern? Any issues with the small holes shown in the photo?

I get mine redrilled onthe same bolt pattern . It just makes the holes a little oblong but fits like a glove.

I drilled my rotors in between the stock Porsche holes thereby encompassing those 2 holes that your referring to. Worked out well for me.

And I looked on mine and those holes were gone, so super man Mikey must've made the holes disappear with larger ones ...

I was concerned Porsche placed those holes there to prevent a redrill, but it sounds like they don't interfere. Once I get the rotors in my hands will determine if I'm going to overlap the exisitng holes as Roy has done or drill a new pattern between exisitng holes.

Thanks, guys! :thumbsup:

Not totally sure, believe they are GT2 rotors and they work with big red calipers. These were on an '02 tt. Pricewise, seen them advertised for around $180/ea. Not a lightweight system, but one of the best.

It should be the the GT3 / TT rotor . Also for clarification the Big reds came on the 993 TT , RS, RSR and the 993 GT2. They can be ID by the bolts that hold the two halves together. If it is one piece Caliper it is the MonoBlok.
Price for a rotor is about 120 USD. Depending on the Euro rate.

Made a error but corrected it.

Roy, Thanks for that info. I did just discover that the newer tt's (996) seem to have come with the monoblocs. Don't know if they have the same mounting points as the big reds but since my kits was designed for the reds that is what i'm pursuing.

Most gt3s and gt2s are coming with the ceramic rotors now. The holes are there for the mounting screws that attach the rotor to the hub, so it stays in place with the wheel off since there are no studs. If anyone needs I get porsche parts at cost and would be more then happy to help out
