Hi Brian,

Thanks for the comments.

Here is our reasoning, agree or disagree...

Machining for the slightly larger Porsche rotor, machining rotor adaptors and machining caliper spacers for the Porsche rotor were not cost effective.

Theses things contributing to the higher cost Porsche rotors over the Wilwood Rotors…and doing this for inferior calipers no longer make sense or monetarily. Plus you have a hat on the Porsche rotor that helps shroud airflow over the stub axle area. One to our areas of attack….air flow.

It makes no sense to us to use OEM calipers with the number of complaints we get about them.

Even with today's after market rotors, they are still, as general rule, 40% to 50% higher in cost than the Wilwood rotors we have converted to.
