Hey everyone, Paragon Performance Brakes is now making brake components for Porsche's. As part of this new product line, they asked me to do a review on my YouTube channel. I installed their slotted two piece rotors on my 718 GT4. They are a great alternative to more expensive go-to's like Gyrodisc and AP Racing. Check out the review and install:

Doing research on these, does anyone know where their rotors are manufactured? Where is the metal they are sourcing from?

Here's my follow up video on the Paragon Rotors after having an opportunity to hit up a track day and autocross. The quick and dirty is they held up just fine with no complaints. Watch the whole video for a recap of the rotors and the track day.

Ok, I've now tested the full Pargon setup. Their R5 pads and their two piece slotted rotors. I put them to work at Laguna Seca and they did not disappoint. This may be the most cost effective brake setup for the GT4 while still performing. Full review is up:
