The trouble with the slotted rotors on Ebay is that they fit the standard PT, not the Turbo. The turbo was fitted with different rotors, thicker and different offset. I would gladly go with a set of drilled and slotted discs if they were available....sadly, they are not available, yet.

The good news is that our special brake functions (ABS, and Traction Control) work from the spindle, which is the same for all PTs. That means putting on a set of Brembos, Willwoods, or Stainless Steel Brake Co.s will not adversley effect brake function as we know it.

For all the guys that have watched the searing hot metal from the front brake pads eat holes in their wheels....there is a reason for it, your brakes are getting too hot!

I'll keep you posted on the progress with this S.S.B. package.

The S.S.B. folks seem very helpful, the kit includes braided stainless lines, plated grouved 12" rotors, adapters for the new calipers, competition brake pads, and large two piston calipers (I chose to have them just clear coated - could have had them painted.[?]
