Default Giro Disc?

Looks like Giro Disc is making 2 pc rotors for us now.....
https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/968...#entry21895885

Has anyone had a chance to use them on the s2000 yet? I'm waiting for the company in that thread to come back to me with pricing.

We use them on our track cars at work and I know the Evo guys swear by them but haven't ran across any s2k drivers that have tried them.

Another option you can consider if you are wanting a stock replacement two-piece rotor is the Performance Friction V2 rotor. It uses an entirely new method for handling rotor float, as can be seen in the diagram.



This is designed to be low stress to prevent cracking. Here is an article about the attachment hardware: http://www.performancefriction.com/s...bbin-disc.aspx

Performance Friction products are found in IRL, NASCAR, and ALMS racing, and they have an extremely prestigious racing history. For example, in 2011:

Year after year, Performance Friction wins more championships than any other brake manufacturer and 2011 was no different. This year PFC has won 47 championships and counting. No other brake manufacturer can claim this level of success. Some of the 47 championships include NASCAR Sprint Cup, Grand-Am Rolex, IndyCar, World Challenge, Trans-Am and Star Mazda.

Drivers and Teams who refuse to settle for second place know they can’t settle for anything less than Performance Friction Brakes. PFC offers premium quality pads, discs and calipers that are unmatched in the industry. No other company can offer the consistency, performance and quality that Performance Friction delivers each and every time. Whether it’s the Daytona 500 or a 25-lap street stock feature, don’t leave your braking power to chance. After 25 years in racing, not a single driver has experienced a brake failure while using Performance Friction. PFC makes the absolute best brakes on the market. Just ask the Champions.

I know they made one and sold it for at least a few months but then discontinued it IIRC

The Performance Friction rotors are a cool idea, but like others have questioned... Are they even obtainable anymore?

Well, I have talked to a sales rep at Performance Friction as well as one of our distributor's who provided me a price quote, so I am pretty positive they are available Pricing is comparable to Racing Brake, in what I feel is a better design.

I'd like more information on them if you can get it. I doubt they'll sell many on rumors that they exist

I was actually considering ordering a set soon. I can take pictures. What sort of information are you looking for, other than whether they are available?

I'd like some sexy pictures and fancy technical write up telling me why I have to have these on my car. Then I'd like to be able to add them to my cart and sit there contemplating the price. I'll end up ordering them one of these days.
