Lightbulb * 996TT REPLACEMENT discs - GiroDiscs. Comprehensive information & pictures*

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 997 TURBO ROTOR PACKAGES TO REPLACE THE OEM STEEL ROTORS:

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

WEIGHT:

Front: Factory 24 lbs./GiroDisc 22.4 lbs. - slotted

Rear: Factory 20.5 lbs./GiroDisc 18.2 lbs. - slotted

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 -

do you offer these for direct replacements for GT2/3 front?

also do you have a kit for upgrading 330 rears to 350 utiliazing the stock 330 rear calipers?

since you are a pagid distributor, pagid pads will fit with no modifications?

I do indeed. Go over to the GT2/GT3 Rennlist section -

The rears are also 350mm and utilize both F&R stock calipers - all parts included.
Extraordinarily easy installation.

*Pagid pads fit w/o any modifications, and BTW do not require ANY manufacturer-specific pad*

I have them right here, any additional pictures just e-mail me. Several sets going out Monday, these are the best of the best and are reasonably priced - UNDER $600 per corner.

Extremely well - and I sell both the others.
If it were my money, I'd have absolutely NO hesitation purchasing the GiroDiscs -

Once you have both in-hand, I cannot see why one would pay over 1k more for the others.

GiroDiscs are HUGE in Germany, very common / popular.
Cargraphic uses them almost exclusively.

Yes. A bit of irony, perhaps?

The disk itself should be very irony, but the center part is aluminumy. (i crack myself up!)
