1. Any thoughts on the Elephant Racing "930" brake setup? Seems like a similar option to the 930 with a slightly better caliper and lighter. Maybe a better overall setup? I recently talked with someone at TPC racing who felt in a track car that is under 2600lb even the boxster brakes were adequate.

2. Does anyone make slotted rotors for the 911 brakes? Drilled rotors are prone to cracking, especially in track applications.

Thanks!
For a 911 the best currently available bolt on set of more effective brakes is the Elephant Racing version of 930s, Hands down, no ifs ands or buts

Boxster brakes on stock 911 rotors is no improvement in performance
Boxster on Boxster is a small improvement
Boxster S on Boxster S is also nice but not any where as good as the Elephant 930s

There are slotted 930s rotors available for the front but I've never seen them for the back, front is where it's most critical to avoid cracking
