[QUOTE="cholmes1, post: 16876406, member: 183246"] Thank you [USER=141815]@Bad Company[/USER]. I am familiar with the FRPP unit you described and believe some are still available through Dean Martin at Kohr. That said, you are correct that FRPP is certainly not making any new rings, so using them for actual track use would be a challenging effort knowing they cannot be replaced. I attached an image of the rotors at a PRI event if you have not already seen how they were displayed when they were released. They look great and were certainly a great factory option when they were released. Fortunately, a racer on a separate forum (JAJ at TMO) highlighted that the challenge with the OEM to Brembo match is down to the annulus length, not the exterior dimensions. He ultimately found that Brembo does make a Type III ring that is a nice match for the OEM dimensions for the GT500 ring. It is 380x32 with a 65mm annulus to fit the '13-'14 GT500 pad size.
