I had that problem for a while with my 21 GTS 4.0, no listing, but the 20 and21 should be the same as yours.
'21 718 GTS 4.0, AGM/Espresso/ Cognac
'17 Cayenne base, White/Luxor/Black
'16 Cayman GTS, great car, sold for the 4.0
'13 Cayenne base, DBM/Luxor beige
'06 Cayman S, first mid-engine car
'86 944 Turbo, fast! Stone grey
'84 944, my first Porsche DBM

I’ll try again tomorrow, but even using 2020, I couldn’t get the GTS 4.0 to appear.

I pulled up my account and it reminded me I couldn't either, so I listed my car as a 2021 718 Spyder and voila, the parts showed up. Odd that way, Pelican, some other online suppliers also don't have listings for the 4.0 718's, even almost four years in, but you can email FCP Euro and they will respond with the correct part numbers.

Using 718 Spyder is okay for some parts, but it's my understanding the rotors and pads on the 4.0 GTS are different than those on the Spyder. Not even sure the 4.0 GTS pads and rotors are the same as those on the previous iteration 718 2.5L GTS.

Regardless, it's good to know FCP responds to their e-mail (unlike Suncoast...they've never responded to any of my e-mail and I've sent them at least a half dozen over the past 3 years).

You are correct that the rotors and pads on the 4.0 are different from the 2.5 4 cylinder, they are taken directly from the 992 I believe. As for the Spyder being different, I can't say. But as I said, an email inquiry will get a pretty quick response with the correct parts. I've asked them several times why they haven't updated their search to include the 718 GTS 4.0 but never gotten a clear response.

Spyder's brakes rotors are a size up (380mm F&R) from GTS 4.0 (350mm F & 330mm R), I believe.
