yeah, where can one purchase the the OEM S rotors with the exact same hole pattern and specs that are on my 03 S? Please don't say Zimmerman. I've checked them out and they don't look like the rotors on my S. If they are in fact the oem supplier what is the part # for the OEM S rotors. I've asked this question a few different places and surprisingly nodbody seems to have an answer.

I was informed Zimmerman is the supplier to Porsche on rotors, but seems if you buy after market Zimmermans, they are not the same

I have drilled Zimmermans and after 11 months, they look like crap???

I would not reccomend aftermarket Zimmermans as mine did not last 11 months.

I was hoping someone would pipe up and give a success story on another mfg of rotors, else I am going back to dealer over the counter Porsche rotors. $$$

Ditto, I have had good experience with the Porsche supplied parts.
