Giro Disc’s have also been proven, again by multiple people, to last for more than 25+ track days before needing to replace the rotor rings. Giro Disc’s have a proprietary metal that they use that increase rotor ring life.Are lighter than OEM rotors (even the OEM two-piece rotors.
These rotors are the exact same diameter and thickness of the OEM and will bolt directly on without any modifications. It’s tough to see, but below I have tried to capture all the micro cracks and overall rotor condition. This is after a total of six track days, and two different pad compounds. My first choice was Raybestos ST-43 pads that I had in for five of those six track days. The ST-43 pad actually worked fairly well for me, but towards the end of the session you could tell the pad was out of its optimal operating temp range. This was apparent because I was having to push harder on the pedal to get the car to brake the same as it was at the beginning of the session. I still have about 1/3 pad life left on the ST-43’s but I wanted to try something with a little more heat capabilities. So… On my sixth track day I opted to try the Hawk DTC 70 pad. I only had one track day on these pads and wasn’t convinced they were right for me, but to be fair the track day was kind of a shit one altogether. There was such dense fog that we didn’t even get on track until 1:00pm (we were supposed to start at 8am), it was literally freezing cold and wet all morning long, so once the fog and cleared and we were allowed on track, it was still damp. I had also read online that the dust created by the DTC 70’s would stain my car, and my wheels. Since my car is new, I didn’t want to risk ruining the paint less than a year into ownership. This was really the main reason I decided to try out the Carbotech Xp12’s up front. When installing the new rotors be sure to clean them thoroughly with brake cleaner to get off all the oil that is on the rotor. New rotors will come coated in oil to help prevent rust while in storage or shipping. If you do not clean it all off, it will cause your pads to not bed in properly and you will not be able to get the most from your new setup.

Slide the new rotor on… Take note! The Giro Disc’s are directional and if you install them incorrectly the cooling vanes will not work as efficiently.
