993RS Slotted Rear Rotors

My current project is upgrading my 1995 993 C2 to 993RS Brakes. I purchased Girodiscs slotted rotors for the front of the vehicle. Unfortunately Girodisc does not make the rear rotors with slots. I found a European firm that makes plain, slotted, drilled or slotted and drilled rotors for all four corners. Has anyone used rotors made by Black Diamond Performance?

Black Diamond Performance Brake Pads, Discs & Clutches

I have not pulled the trigger and am interested if anyone has experience with this company? I appreciate the help.

Sincerely,
Michael Bishop

They do not list the 993RS rear discs as being available

they do seem to have regular 993 rears

RS and tt uses 322x8mm rears
reg 993 used 299x24mm rears

I looked all over for alternatives to the RS rears and couldn't find them but it's not a disaster as they do last a lot longer than the oe fronts so it's not as critical to find a replacement.

At this point I will just order the 993 RS items Porsche Items. Really wish someone made a good rear slotted rotor to go with my new calipers. Thank you for the insight.

You are not alone, the 993 and even more so the 964 seem to be the red headed step child as far as after market parts goes.

For 996-997 there are multiple choices for rear rotor setups, they even have 2 piece sets like on the Gyrodisk fronts, that retain the parking brake

You could go to stop tech and purchase some very expensive 350s but then you would also need to use the Stoptech calipers
