Giro disc lightweight race rotors-group purchase

[David Buschur]

Quite some time ago I did some dyno testing on brake rotors. I had my RS on the dyno and wanted to see if I just swapped rotors in a back-to-back test if the car would gain power. The car was left on the dyno, rotors were swapped and the test was done.

I went from a nearly new set of stock EVO8 rotors to the standard Giro Disc front and rear rotors. The standard front Giro's are 17.4 pounds and the standard rears are 11.1 pounds. Stock rotors are 21.35 and 14.6 pounds.

So total weight saved was 14.9 pounds and the results were gains in power from about 4,000 to redline and at redline it was 7 whp.

As time went on I wanted to save more weight without ruining my RS. I contacted Giro Disc to make a more serious rotor for the car that was even lighter.

There were some other guys interested and talking to them too, like Jarrod Hoops, about the same thing and finally Giro Disc built us a kick ass race rotor.

The new full sized race rotor weigh in at 13 pounds for the front and 9 pounds for the rear. Total rotor weight, 44 pounds. This is 27.90 pounds LIGHTER than the stock EVO8-9 rotors!

To put this into further perspective, the Wilwood drag brake kits that are offered weigh in at: Front rotor 10 pounds and rear rotor 6.4 pounds.

I have been using the rotors on my RS for this entire past year. Braking is as good or better than with the stock rotor and we've done a LOT of braking from 150+ mph down to 0 with them, no problems, no warping.

The rotors are expensive to make and Giro Disc has not done another production run of these because of the cost. There is some interest now by a few people and Giro Disc has agreed to build a batch but we need atleast 5 guys to order a full set.

The price is $1600 for the set of 4 and we will cover the shipping in the lower 48 States for that price.

I have one order we took this morning to get things started. Please give us a call if you are interested in ordering a set and if you'd like post up here in the thread.

Thank you!!

updates guys. to the people interested in just a set for the front or a set for the rear this can be done in the group buy. you do not need to buy both front and rear to join the group buy.
