Who Sells Floating Rotors?
Who sells 12.75"x1.25" front floating rotors for the 80's 911/930 type hubs?
The more sources the better... thanks.

I specifically need the 78-79 930 fronts, and they are a bear to find. The best I've found is $520 for the pair.

Jack: Does that price include the center flange? I understand the flanges are $800 each.

Probably not. I use a custom hat, since I have 930 brakes on an early 911.
I guess this would all fit nicely in the "How many other ridiculous prices?" thread.

Guys,
I know my wrench can get them. He did the brakes on my friend's 78 930 last year. Cubic dollars, but he can get them. The center flanges are $$$. The ones on the 78 had some cracking but he said it was not an issue and put them back in without replacement. Try giving him a call at 919.851.5084, ask for Tolga, tell him Dave sent you. His pricing is always very fair.

VCI sells aftermarket floating rotors both drilled and/or slotted. For oems you need to contact a dealer or Brembo
Steve Weiner at Rennsport is another good source which I like due to the availability of anodizing on the rotors

I think that Coleman Racing will make anything you want. I have had good experience with them - they just don't really want to mess around with road applications.
http://www.colemanracing.com/prodex/cat.htp?cat=Brakes%20%28Rotors%29 I put 330mmx30mm rotors on my Audi - I designed and made the ahts and sent Coleman a drawing of the rotor - they arrived in a week, fit perfectly, and were about $125 piece. They offer a floating design. I will probably go the same route when the 930 rotors on my '84 Carera need replacing.

I bought floating rotors for my car from Hendrick Porsche. $250 each. I got the hats from a place in NJ. $200 or so. Both are nice guy to deal with. I also heard that the corrosion protection is better on OE rotors vs OEM.

Here is the link for Powertech in NJ. I talked with Mike. I think the hats themselves where $200 plus hardware, so the total was around $300 Sorry for the brain fade
