Girodisc Rotors

I was at Sebring last weekend and ended up warping all of my rotors. Not sure if it’s because I didn’t do a proper cool down in extremely warm (+90 degree weather) or because they are at or past minimum. I just ordered Girodisc rotors for the front (Part No. A1-032) which is a 350mm disc, but with a smaller hat that will allow me to use a GT3-size pad in my OEM Carrera S front brake calipers. I also bought Sebro slotted rear discs because I was concerned about using spacers on the rear calipers to be able to fit 350mm Girodisc rear rotors. That said, I am also probably being a bit lazy also: I have Tarett brake caliper studs and did not feel like swapping them out for longer studs that will allow the use of spacers. Time is really short these days so I thought it would just be easier to use Sebro OEM-size rear rotors for now. For pads, I am considering using an OEM GT3 pad for the fronts and OEM Carrera pads for the rear. My rear pads still have plenty of life left. I’ll report back after the install. Not expecting signifant braking improvements, but I am expecting better heat dissipation and less wear.
Just reading over this thread as my OEM pads and done and OEM rotors are close to being done; looking at the Girodisc pads and rotors as a replacement. Was told yesterday I will need to break differently for street driving on these; but should see better stopping power and longer wear on the track. How have yours been and have you kept running OEM pads on them?
Thanks in advance.

Girodisk & Endless Pads (street & track one pad)
The Endless pads are good for both track and street use with the added benefit of low pad dust and low or no noise.
This is a huge benefit over using the Porsche GTS/991.2 pads on the front as dust and noise has been annoying.
Hope this helps.
