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.

I myself am going to eventually do the GiroDisc and would like to know your review regarding mixing the GT3 and Carrera pads. I am still searching for a trackable street pad.

my understanding is that my choices are limited and I didn’t want pagids. I could use the girodisc with standard Carrera S pads, but want to experiment. If a gt3 pad is good for a gt3, it has to be good for my carrera.

Pagids on the street is very noisy so I’m looking for a compromise. I hear the Ferodo DS2500 is an in between pad but I have no experiences with it. Definitely update this post on your thoughts of the GT3 pads.

will do. Don’t care about noise. I heard that, when they are half worn, they lose stopping performance.

I upgraded my rotors with GiroDisc almost 1 1/2 years ago. I also upgraded the front pads with GT3 pads. I didn’t like the dust the OEM pads put out so I elected to try the Carbotech pads. I must add there is minimal dust and great stopping power.

Greater Surface area on GT3 Pads

this is the setup I am looking for. Keep us posted on how they perform at the track and noises on the street!

Mike at Girodisc told me last week that they will soon be offering brake pads with their own custom formulation. These will be track oriented pads with bite slightly less than PFC 08s, but more rotor friendly. Definitely worth a try IMO.
