Default Girodisc floating rotors - testing results on page 5



Arrived Thursday. Thanks to THMotorspots for getting them to me ASAP. Of course mechanical gremlins struck and my diff went last weekend at Laguna so I'm down for a few weeks while it's being repaired.

However, the discs look great and I'll be reporting back here with results from the regional SCCA race in May at Thunderhill.

Each one is about 1.2lbs lighter than a heavily used stock front disc.

Nice. How much are they? ...they use OEM sized rotors/ pads?

Yep, direct OEM replacement. Check with THMotorsports for a price quote.

I just took delivery of a set of these beauties as well!





I am not sure if pricing of everything has been finalized, but I believe this should be the most cost effective 2 piece floating rotor available for the S2000.

Will be interested to see how long these hold up. Might have to pick up a set, too!

Lifespan is my main reason for purchasing these, so I hope the rings last! I have been eating through rotors pretty quickly. It will be a little while before I install so very interested to see how they workout for cracknut at Thunderhill!

I've been contemplating these or the two piece made by racing brakes.com. Anyone have feedback from either?
