Beautiful. What's the weight compared to stock?

Giro Disc
10-28-2008, 05:39 PM
Front: 6.5lbs lighter per rotor over stock.

Rear: 5lbs lighter per rotor over stock.

Total possible weight savings off your rotational mass could be 23lbs. Its like loosing a wheel.

They are also fully floating directional vane with more durable ductile iron. These are far more superior to the MR pillar vane bolted front 2pc rotor.

No $1550 is the price for all 4 wheels.

$750 for the front pair
$800 for the rear pair

Rotor replacements are $250.00ea for the front and $185.00ea for the rear w/ hardware. However we use a ductile iron which is a lot denser then the standard gray iron in most premium rotors. We have seen full seasons out of a track car with our rotors and up to 60k miles on a street car. Many of the features designed into these rotors are to increase the life of the product.

Hey all. We use a ductile iron which is denser then the standard gray iron used in most stock and premium 1pc rotors. Your stock rotors are much softer and will ware faster then our 2pc rotors. They designed primarily for road racing and every feature they have are designed to make the rotor last longer and cool better for repeated heavy abuse. We do offer a warranty against any defects in the rotor. Premature ware, or any other problems that occur outside of the normal ware will be warrantied. We take pride in having a great product and will stand by it long after the sale is made.

How long will these rotors last is not really the question you shouldbe asking; it's how long with your pads last. I've talked to gates about these rotors and he's being going on 2 yrs on the same set of rotors!
I'm just worried that when u go sloted rotors your pads life will greatly be reduced. I've done 3 track days with 6100km total on the evo and my pads are almost done.
Just something to think about. But shaving that much weight from the hub would be awesome!

Giro Disc
11-04-2009, 03:39 PM
The pads will ware faster yes but in terms of overall lifespan its not very much. Maybe 500 miles sooner then normal. We can make them in blank if you prefer. Your stock pads are made to burn up fast when they heat up because they are designed to save the rotor. Track pads will last much longer at the track then stock pads as will our Magic Pads on the street.

The average track pads like the Raybestos anywhere from 8-10 events depending on how you use them and thats really the key. I have a set of Magic Pads and 2pc rotors and I have 36k miles on my car and they have almost half their material left but we have had customers only get 12k miles out of theirs so its really hard to say. If you are using your stock pads and they are lasting more then one event then chances are you are easy on your brakes and your pads should have a pretty good lifespan.

trackjunkie
11-04-2009, 04:02 PM
Ya I would be interested in a set of 2 peice but prolly just blank rotors. I didn't know the stock pads were designed so soft but would explain why they don't last too long.

Are these even lighter than the MR 2 pc stock rotors? by how much?

Giro Disc
11-04-2009, 07:11 PM
They are by 2lbs per rotor. The real difference is in the construction. The MR rotors are pillar vane like most standard rotors. Not very good at cooling. The Girodisc rotors use a ductile iron which is denser then the MR 2pc rotor and they directional vane so they have much better cooling at high speeds. So they aren't much lighter but when it comes to racing and aggressive driving the Girodisc rotors will far outlast where a MR 2pc rotor will fall on its face.

I certainly wouldn't buy OEM ones unless you want a used set.

Cheap blanks like Rotara are around $225/set. Slotted rotors don't come any cheaper than the Girodisc one-piece. If you price out the other brands of 2-piece you'll also find that Girodisc pricing is on the lower end of the spectrum.

I just put Girodiscs on my car last weekend. It's fun to pick up the stock front rotor and compare the weight to the Girodisc 2-piece.

Thanks. Cnsidering that most, nearly all, high-end, high-performance breaks are two-piece, I would say that you are definitely better off.

A major aspect of a two-piece rotor is it's ability to dissipate heat more effectively.

Hey all, this thread really blew up the last couple days...

I will answer as all the questions I can.

why are the rear rotors more expensive? shouldn't it be the other way around?

The reason the rear rotors cost more is due to material and machine time. The rotor casting is smaller yes, but the aluminum hat is made from a much larger piece of stock due to the parking brake bell. It also takes about 5x longer to machine then the fronts.

Which pads for all day on the 2pc Giros in front ?

3 times in the year on the racetrack but we have no speedlimit so I need to brake often from high speed and v/max.

Thanks

Peter

If you run your car at the track and need to brake at high speeds then I would suggest the Ferodo DS2500 Pads. They are a very aggressive street pad but they have a super high operating temp (about 1100 degF) so they work great for novice to intermediate track driving as well as high speed braking on the street. They make a bit of dust, but much less then stock and can make noise but our price of the DS2500 of $385.00 Shipped for the carset includes a set of front and rear Girodisc Anti Noise Shims to keep them as quiet as possible.

Something like $750, mentioned in a previous post.

Are there any known issues with a 2-piece rotor, or lighter rotors in general? Warping issues or anything?

No, our rotors are designed for repeated heavy abuse and compared to stock there is no side effect that would make stock a better option.

The rotor rings are made of a ductile iron which is denser then the standard grey iron on stock and most aftermarket 1pc rotors. This make them more resistant to cracking, warping, and gives them longer life and more miles even when using aggressive race pads.

Also being the 2pc design they are lighter for less rotational mass yes, but its taken a step further by also being a fully floating design. 1pc rotors and even 2pc rotors that are bolted (DBA etc..) cannot handle the stress from heat like a floating rotor. The reason for this is as a rotor heats up from braking the iron will expand. The iron ring will grow outwards as well as inwards, and because the hat of the rotor is not on the same plane, it will also grow outward as well as inward. The problem arises where the iron ring and the hat meet. As the ring grows inward and the hat grows outward they will push on each other and the energy has nowhere to go so over time this will lead to premature cracking and warping of the rotor.

Our Fully Floating design uses a special Drive Pin and Spring Clip hardware setup. The Holes in the rotors are elongated so that the rotor and hat and expand and contract as they heat up, un-opposed to each other so they can stay strait and true over the entire lifespan of the rotor ring so you get the most out of them.

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p437/girodisc/350z-2pc-front-04.jpg

And Lastly the directional vanes of the rotor have a large effect on how they cool. Standard 1pc rotors and even the MR's 2pc front rotor are a Pillar Vane design so the inside of the rotor looks like a bunch of columns. The only way the rotor can cool itself is by washing in whatever air that comes into the wheel. Our rotors use a dedicated left and right casting that use a solid curved vane. What happens is that as the rotor spins the vanes force the air out of the rotor. This will cause a pressure drop in the rotor's vanes that will draw air in through the center and then force it out. The faster the rotor spins the more air it pumps through its vanes. Directional vane rotors cool about 40% better then Pillar vane and this can be increased even further with the addition of a brake duct kit.

So not only are they lighter to free up some power, they are made of a denser iron so they will last longer, they are a floating so they can resist fatigue and last longer, and they are directional vane so they run cooler and last loner....

If it makes it any consultation we use all the same features on these rotors that we use on all the other rotors we make for cars such as:

Porsche GT3 Cup
Ferrari 355 Challenge
Ferrari 360 Challenge
Ferrari 430 Challenge
Lotus 240 Cup
Areal Atom
Lamborghini Gallardo
Lamborghini Murcielago
Nissan GTR
etc...

So you know that they are designed and proven to work at the track. Ryan Gates has proven that again and again. Also they are quite the lookers, we offer custom colors as well for an additional fee.

Slightly odd question. Is the width of the front 2pc rotors wider than stick? I noticed that I couldn't fit your Titanium shims into the caliper along with a new set of Carbotech pads. Wasn't sure if it was the pad or rotor since I don't have a new stock rotor to measure.

The rotor width is the same as stock so its the pads. I noticed this recently when I installed a set on an STi. I think they run a little thicker because they don't have a shim so they add a bit more pad material for you always a good thing.

It seams like a lot initially yes. But if your racing (which is what these are designed to be used for) then these are the cheaper option in the long run. You get better performance and they last much longer then a set of say 1pc slotted rotors. A carset of slotted rotors is around 300 for fronts and 200 for rears plus shipping. Most track guys will go through a set or 2pc rotors a season but will go through a set of 1pc rotors in as short as 2 events. 2 seasons of racing and overall your will be head of the game.

I wish I could... But Giro Disc set me up with some used OEM front pads so I have just enough to get me home with all highway driving... So I have to take it easy on the spirited driving until than :(

I went with 2 piece slotted in black. I think the ones they posted pics of are mine, maybe.

Should be great with the Raybesto ST43's I got from them as well. :)

I know I said I was going to install them immediately, but I don't have the car for a few weeks while it's in the bodyshop. So, you'll have to wait!

It seams like a lot initially yes. But if your racing (which is what these are designed to be used for) then these are the cheaper option in the long run. You get better performance and they last much longer then a set of say 1pc slotted rotors. A carset of slotted rotors is around 300 for fronts and 200 for rears plus shipping. Most track guys will go through a set or 2pc rotors a season but will go through a set of 1pc rotors in as short as 2 events. 2 seasons of racing and overall your will be head of the game.

Johann @ Girodisc

Just out of curiosity, what does it cost to buy replacement disc's (to mount up to the "hats") after they wear out? Both front and rear (though front's would obviously wear out first). As I recall, it is not possible to machine down drilled or slotted rotors, so replacement is the way to go. Correct me if I'm wrong, of course.

Thanks!

I believe they were in the range of $250ea which is a great price even compared to OEM.

You can machining down slotted and crossdrilled rotors we do it to every set that leaves. Price is 250.00 for each front ring and 175.00 for each rear and they come with new hardware. We also offer the service of installing the new rings/ hardware onto your old hats and turning them free of charge. You just pay the shipping for the hats to us and the rotors back to you. This is available for as long as you own them.

This is one of the greatest parts of owning Girodisc 2pc!

The rears are going to last a long time, so you're probably only going to be doing the fronts. 500$ for replacement rings plus shipping to fix up some of the greatest rotors out there is an awesome deal.

So my information was, well, incorrect, eh? Glad they can be machined in order to get a few sets of pads on the disc's before having to replace them. Excellent service there Giro Disc. Thanks for the information! Very nice product.

I agree DrasticK. These rotors are beautiful and once you have invested in a set, they cost less to maintain over time. Plus they look sweet because of the machining and hardware. If you don't buy a set of these, when it is time to replace your rotors, you're just plain wrong (IMHO).

:drive:

this is the point I always make... I think locally the delaerhsip wants something like $489 per front disc which is insanely stupid... you would save $200 for the fronts right off the bat and then $500 each time you change them out....

Giro, why don't you make replacement rotors to fit the MR's stock hat?

Giro Disc
05-13-2011, 10:18 PM
They use different hardware and its very hard to get it from Brembo or Mitsu. Also having a casting for the MR hats and a second for ours is a waste. Your best bet is to get an MR sell the stock 2pcs when they are new and worth a lot and then get ours. :)
