[s-cars] Porsche Big Red rotors and pads

[Bares, Vittorio]

Am I on the right track w/these pads?

1+Turbo+Coupe&autoYear=1996&autoModClar=

 

For the rotors 314x30 (my understanding from the PO is that I have BIRA
system3)

 

Where can these be sourced in the US?

 

I've only been able to find:

 

http://www.autodonner.de/index.php/cPath/21_165_167

 

or

ct=15298369

 

ECS seems to be out:

I did find these - but for the price of an OEM at $190 - might as well
order from overseas and get slotted, no?

I had no idea, these rotors were so difficult to source - I may just buy
crappy pads to buy time on the rotors (my pads are g-g-g-one)?

 

Will BIRA have these if I join their membership? Might give em a call
tomorrow...

If you have Big Reds, make sure you don't buy pads for a regular 993-
they will be too small. You want the pads for a '96-97 Porsche 911 turbo
(aka 993 turbo).

I am currently running Hawk HPS which seem fine, a bit squeaky on slow

and dusty.  I'm about to mount Ferodo 4000s (box is in the garage, so
I'm
not sure at the moment exactly what they are), but the point is there
are a
huge selection of pads besides the Porsche Textar.
