Lightbulb * 996 GT2/3 REPLACEMENT discs - GiroDiscs. Comprehensive information & pictures*

****Title of post is/was 996TT - because the pictured discs are indeed that model. 996 GT2/GT3 disc same dia and hat section slightly different****

Company verbage & information:

GiroDisc is a brake technology company that is dedicated to the development and manufacturing of high quality brake components and brake systems. GiroDisc products are designed and engineered for both street and track applications with a comprehensive product line of two-piece
floating rotors that are designed to be a direct replacement for the factory rotors.

The two-piece floating rotor will improve braking performance, reduce unsprung weight and utilizes the factory calipers and e-brake.
Unlike many “big brake” packages on the market, GiroDisc rotors also retain the factory brake bias and outstanding pedal feel. High quality construction and premium grade materials provide improved wear, increased rotor life, minimized coning and greater cooling efficiency.

Note how the slotting is *properly* done with tapered ends and plenty of edge margin.

These represent good value, readily available replacement parts, and amongst the highest quality in the industry.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PORSCHE 996 GT3 ROTOR PACKAGES TO REPLACE THE OEM STEEL ROTORS:

SIZE:
Front: Factory 350 mm/GiroDisc 350 mm
Rear: Factory 330 mm/GiroDisc 350 mm

WEIGHT:
Front: Factory 25.6 lbs./GiroDisc 22.4 lbs.
Rear: Factory 22.1 lbs./GiroDisc 18.2 lbs.

ALL hardware as weel as the disc is FULLY PLATED to resist corrosion.
100% Made in the USA.
Rotor replacement cost approx $300/ring for cost effiecent replacements -

** ANY questions, please call me at 425-765-1090 or email at rennstore@comcast.net for special Rennlist pricing. **

OK I will ask the obvious question, Rotora parts only, or related somehow to Rotora?
Thanks,
Mike

I'd be interested to know prices.

Also, do the bells allow 'full size' pads such as Pagid Yellow (RS19) or do they need smaller pads (like Performance Friction)

These DO NOT lock you into one particular pad whatsoever - this, combined with the absolute utmost quality, makes them an easy choice IMO.

Use any pad you'd like - the OEM sizes are retained

PMs sent as of 10:10am Pacific. Questions? Additional pictures needed?

Other than price, what makes this product better than the competing Brembo product?
Thanks,
Mike

Do they have a size/offset for a direct fit replacement for PCCB rotors?

I looked on the site and couldn't find info about the price?

I basicly need 4 all new rotors and pads, to replace on a 997 carrera S with PCCB stock.

Our 996TT setup fits that need exactly!

Direct msg from the owner of GiroDisc:
"The 997S w/PCCB uses our 996TT setup. The 996TT setup is spot on for that car."
