I gave you that link to the ECS ad for those rotors 5 days ago, so it should not have been difficult to find them. : ) Of course, they don't expect to have the rotors in stock for 3 months. What I was trying to convey was perhaps there is another option to these expensive and hard to find rotors. Apikol would be the folks to talk to about either sourcing these rotors or an alternative system that is more affordable and readily available in the US market.

There are many 2000 Porsche models with different brake calipers and pad requirements. You should make an effort to determine now what your BBK conmponents are. Whether it was bought as a kit or assembled from individual parts along with photos or a good description can help determine this. The question about what adapter brackets are used to mount the calipers could provide the answer.

You need to bed the pads in properly. Search the net. BIRA used to have a good write-up on pad bedding.

The garage that did my brakes does a lot of porsche cars and a few race cars... I would have thought they would have done it ... They put about 45 miles on my car!

No way any squealing brake pad is going to sound like a canary. Is that the reason you were putting new parts in the brakes? You never mentioned any reason you needed new parts, or for that matter, exactly what BBK setup you have on the car-we got the rotors, I guess, and pad brand, but still don't know what adapter you are using to fit this caliper to the car, or exactly what caliper it is. We got hints; It is red, and is a Porsche part, that's it. As long as you just provide generalities, general answers is all you will get.

The Textar pads should be the quietest option for brake pads on most calipers.

You were doing all this sweating about parts and a Porsche garage was actually doing the work? Wouldn't you think a good garage would have one look at the calipers and tell you what they are and what pads to use?
