Another question is do you know where to get those troublesome screws (for Porsche and Honda) that hold the disk? I seem to strip then have to drill and break them every time I change rotors.

That's fast. Thanks! But do you happen to know anywhere else (I mean locally)?

because I usually order from RockAuto and Amazon.

Your local Porsche dealer

If you are in the San Diego area, try TC's Garage. Tom may have them

Maybe your local Indy, they might sell you a few

IIRC, you can do without them as the rotor will align on the hub (?) and the wheel will keep it in place
I could be wrong on that YMMV

Correct, the only function of the screws are to hold the rotor in place before the wheel is installed (especially before the caliper is installed). I have run my cars without the screws on occasion and lived to tell the tale! Once the wheel is installed, the lug bolts firmly secure the rotor to the hub.
