Girodisc 2-piece rotors
Hi guys, im new to the forums and recently started tracking my car. the car is still running on its first set of rotors and they are close to needing a replacement. ive been looking around for alternate options to the oem units and came across the girodisc brand. after reading up on their products it seems to be a good product, regularly used by exotic car drivers as replacement rotors with good feedback, e36, e46 m3's, porsches, evos etc.
anyways, i messaged them on facebook and was told that if we can get a group buy going with 10 or more people they can do a front set for around 800 bucks, which is pretty good compared to other products of similar quality. replacement rings will be around 250-300 each. theyre also a few lbs lighter than oem per corner, but at this point im not sure by how much. id love to get some feedback from you guys, personal experiences with girodisc or alternate choices that may be better within the same price range. other than that, so far this seems to be a really good opportunity to get high quality 2 piece rotors at a reasonable price. http://www.girodisc.com/ the pic is a gtr rotor for reference |

Interesting. I would like to see the exact specs of the disc. There is no information on their homepage.
It would be interesting how these compare to PFC Direct Drive. The price is already better than PFC, which isn't really hard to beat |

For $800 the first set and about $300-350 replacement disks. I'll be interested in a group buy for sure.

A: The Girodisc system is a direct replacement for the OE disc. No modifications are necessary. The disc will bolt directly to the car and work with OE calipers and pads perfectly. Once the Girodisc system is in place, simply replace the cast iron rotor when needed. Some discs are larger in diameter and come with caliper spacers. If longer bolts are required, they are also supplied.

I used to run Girodisc 2 piece rotors on my Evo X and have nothing but positive things to say about them. I tracked on pagid's in 105F+ weather and they responded amazingly, no cracks or fade like oem.

OP said if he can get 10 people, they'd do fronts for $800. Are they going through with this? I'd be interested for sure

OP hasn't logged in for like 2 weeks. I guess I'll contact Girodisc myself and see what happens. A group buy would be really nice.

Same here. I'd at least like to hear the price for a full set though.
