Need 993 rear disk ASAP - prefer used
All,
I had a nut come loose and the upper control arm came loose and ground the back side of my brake rotor. Big Reds are in the mail, but not here yet. I have an autocross on Sunday, so, I need safe brakes. Does anyone have a used (end of life is okay) rear rotor for a 993 that I can rent for a couple of weeks for like $25 or so? Bob

Got any pics? How severe is it? Could be perfectly usable still...

I don't have pics, but, I saw quite a bit of metal shavings. Of course, they probably came from the shield/backing plate. Hmmm. When I am in there today replacing the nut, I will have a close look at the rotor. Maybe not disaster after all.

Bob,
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. But if its a single not-too-bad(deep) groove, I think you'll be just fine. As long as it hasn't cracked the rotor, or caused ugly, irregular sized chunks to be whacked off, it should be fine.

Hey, people play extra for slotted rotors!

Rotor has a groove, but drivable. Control arm is pretty bad though. The metal around the ball joint is ground down pretty bad. No autocross for me

Does someone make slotted rotors for a 993? I'm thinking of selling my Big Reds, going back to stock, powder coating them red and using slotted rotors if I can find them. Replacing pads and rotors on Big Reds is prohibitively expensive.
