Fitment: Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 With Factory Z07 CCB Rotors This Girodisc two-piece rotor kit is a direct replacement for the front rotors on the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 with the factory Z07 carbon ceramic brakes. Girodisc two-piece, fully-floating rotor assemblies are direct replacements for the carbon ceramic rotors and utilize the factory calipers, but with a slightly different pad shape commonly known as D1405. This is the exact pad shape used in the C8 Z06 without the Z07 package. Please contact us at (844) 438-7244 if you'd like some help finding pads. Girodisc rotor rings are machined from a proprietary casting made of high-carbon steel formulated to Girodisc’s specifications. This superior metallurgy results in a rotor that holds up better, and the 72 curved vanes act as a centrifugal pump pulling air in through the hub to effectively cool the rotors under hard use. The 2-piece design means a reusable hat which can be attached to new rings (part number D1-320) when they need to be replaced. All major components including the hats, rotor rings, and drive pins are manufactured in-house at the Girodisc facility in Bellingham, WA, from domestically-sourced materials. The hat is made from 6061-T6 aluminum and coated in a black anodized finish. The drive pins are made from a high-strength steel alloy and cadmium-plated for corrosion resistance. All rotors are assembled with spring clips and washers for race-ready float while also being street-friendly with no noise from loose hardware. The minimum thickness at which we recommend replacing these rings is 34mm. We also recommend replacing them if a crack leads to the edge of the ring. Sold and priced per pair.

Fitment: Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 Front with Factory Cast Iron Rotors For the Corvette C8 Z06 with factory Z07 carbon ceramic rotors, see Girodisc A1-320. This Girodisc two-piece floating rotor system is a direct replacement for the OEM cast iron brake rotors on the C8 Z06 Corvette. The Girodisc two-piece rotors will bolt directly to the C8 Z06 and work perfectly with OEM calipers. By upgrading your C8 Z06 brakes to these lightweight, high-performance replacements -- as opposed to a big brake kit -- your factory brake bias is maintained as well as your ABS efficiency. These Girodisc rotors are lighter than OEM pieces, reducing rotational and unsprung mass for quicker acceleration, sharper suspension response, and better brake feel. When used with Pagid or PFC high-performance brake pads and Competition Motorsport RF1 racing brake fluid, this Girodisc rotor system gives you an amazing solution to overheating, cracking and warping rotors. The central hat section of the disc is made from 6061-T6 aircraft specification aluminum. The rotor itself is manufactured from a proprietary cast iron, domestically sourced and made to the same specification used by professional racing organizations. The rotor's curved vane design was developed in racing and acts as a centrifugal pump to force cooling air through the disc. The rotor and hat are joined by a floating mount system utilizing 8-10 high strength alloy steel drive pins manufactured by Girodisc in-house, then cadmium plated for corrosion resistance. The alloy drive pins transfer breaking load while maintaining axial and radial float between the disc rotor and hat. The pins are secured by Grade-12 cap screws and hardened washers, mounted with anti-noise spring washers to allow for heat expansion while eliminating the rattle and noise typically associated with floating rotors. The two-piece Girodisc design allows for rotor-ring replacement as well, minimizing future replacement costs while delivering outstanding performance and cooling. Priced/sold per pair.

Proper bedding ensures maximum performance, even pad wear, and rotor compatibility. Always follow the Ferodo bedding procedure included with your pads. How to Bed In Ferodo Racing Brake Pads (DS2500, DS1.11, DS3.12) Properly bedding in your Ferodo Racing brake pads ensures optimal performance, pad longevity, and rotor compatibility. Whether you're using Ferodo DS2500 for HPDE or DS3.12 and DS1.11 for professional-level endurance racing, following a structured bedding procedure is critical. Below is a simplified step-by-step chart to guide the break-in process. Step Description 1. Safety First Never perform the following activities on public roads but rather ensure you are in a safe and controlled environment such as a skidpad or racetrack for bedding in.  2. Initial Bedding Heat Cycles Perform 5 moderate stops from 60 mph to 10 mph without engaging ABS. Do not come to a complete stop. Allow light rolling between applications to avoid pad imprinting. 3. Medium Pressure Braking After light bedding, perform 10-15 hard stops from 80 mph to 10 mph using maximum pedal pressure to avoid ABS or locking the tires. Pads should begin to emit some odor and light smoke, indicating proper transfer layer development. 4. Cool-Down Phase Drive for 5 minutes whole minimizing brake use. This allows pads and rotors to cool gradually and evenly, preventing thermal shock and ensuring proper pad bonding. 5. Post-Bedding Rest Let the rest for 24-48 hours if possible. This helps fully cure the pad resins and stabilize the pad compound structure for maximum performance. Important Bedding Tips: Do not come to a complete stop while pads are hot.  Avoid heavy braking with new pads before completing the bedding process.  Always bed in pads and rotors as a matched set (used pads on new rotors or vice versa can cause poor performance).  Proper bedding improves brake modulation, reduces judder, and maximizes the lifespan of your Ferodo racing pads. Whether you run Ferodo DS2500 on the street or DS1.11 or DS3.12 on the track, take time to bed them in right—your braking performance depends on it. Important Note Ferodo Racing Brake Pads are for off-road use only. These products contain copper and are not legal for road use in some regions. It is the buyer’s responsibility to determine legal compliance based on their location.

Proper bedding ensures maximum performance, even pad wear, and rotor compatibility. Always follow the Ferodo bedding procedure included with your pads. How to Bed In Ferodo Racing Brake Pads (DS2500, DS1.11, DS3.12) Properly bedding in your Ferodo Racing brake pads ensures optimal performance, pad longevity, and rotor compatibility. Whether you're using Ferodo DS2500 for HPDE or DS3.12 and DS1.11 for professional-level endurance racing, following a structured bedding procedure is critical. Below is a simplified step-by-step chart to guide the break-in process. Step Description 1. Safety First Never perform the following activities on public roads but rather ensure you are in a safe and controlled environment such as a skidpad or racetrack for bedding in.  2. Initial Bedding Heat Cycles Perform 5 moderate stops from 60 mph to 10 mph without engaging ABS. Do not come to a complete stop. Allow light rolling between applications to avoid pad imprinting. 3. Medium Pressure Braking After light bedding, perform 10-15 hard stops from 80 mph to 10 mph using maximum pedal pressure to avoid ABS or locking the tires. Pads should begin to emit some odor and light smoke, indicating proper transfer layer development. 4. Cool-Down Phase Drive for 5 minutes whole minimizing brake use. This allows pads and rotors to cool gradually and evenly, preventing thermal shock and ensuring proper pad bonding. 5. Post-Bedding Rest Let the rest for 24-48 hours if possible. This helps fully cure the pad resins and stabilize the pad compound structure for maximum performance. Important Bedding Tips: Do not come to a complete stop while pads are hot.  Avoid heavy braking with new pads before completing the bedding process.  Always bed in pads and rotors as a matched set (used pads on new rotors or vice versa can cause poor performance).  Proper bedding improves brake modulation, reduces judder, and maximizes the lifespan of your Ferodo racing pads. Whether you run Ferodo DS2500 on the street or DS1.11 or DS3.12 on the track, take time to bed them in right—your braking performance depends on it. Important Note Ferodo Racing Brake Pads are for off-road use only. These products contain copper and are not legal for road use in some regions. It is the buyer’s responsibility to determine legal compliance based on their location.

Whether you're shaving tenths at a national event or building consistency during weekend track days, there's a Carbotech compound tailored to your performance goals. Manufactured in the USA using Carbotech’s proprietary ceramic and metallic formulations, these pads deliver unmatched modulation, rotor friendliness, and fade resistance. Friction materials have evolved significantly over the years. Brake pads were originally made with organic ingredients such as asbestos and carbon, held together by a strong resin. Most brake pads sold today are considered semi-metallic, semi-metallic brake pads use brass, copper, and steel wool shavings held together by a resin. Unfortunately, the main drawback about the use of steel strands, iron, graphite, and small amounts of filer and friction modifiers (used to provide strength and conduct heat away from the rotors) is that the metal shavings and iron must rub against steel rotors every time the brakes are applied. This generates more noise and is a lot more abrasive on the rotors. It also creates corrosive dust that can damage your braking system as well as the paint on your wheels and car. Friction materials that contain Ceramic Kevlar formulations have become recognized for their desirable blend of traits. This allows the Ceramic Kevlar pads to handle higher brake temperatures with less heat fade, and provide faster recovery after heavy braking. It also reduces brake dust and makes wheel maintenance easier! Ceramic Kevlar compounds extend brake life compared to most other semi-metallic and organic materials, and at the same time they outlast other premium pad materials by a significant margin, without compromising in noise control, pad life, and all around braking performance. The CT28907CRF shape fits a variety of high-performance applications, making it a go-to solution for drivers looking for track day brake pads that match their skill level and intensity.

XP8 is a great starting point for advanced HPDE, offering strong bite and fade resistance without being overly aggressive. 3. Can I mix Carbotech compounds front and rear? Yes, many drivers use a more aggressive compound in the front (e.g., XP12) and a slightly less aggressive one in the rear (e.g., XP10) to fine-tune balance. 4. Are Carbotech pads hard on rotors? No. All Carbotech compounds are known for being rotor-friendly, helping reduce rotor wear and operating costs. 5. Which compound is best for endurance racing? RP2 is engineered specifically for long-distance events where pad and rotor life are just as important as torque output. 6. Do Carbotech pads require special bedding procedures? Yes. A proper bedding-in process is critical for optimal performance. Carbotech provides detailed bedding instructions with every set of pads. Carbotech Brake Pad Bedding Procedures The bedding process transfers friction material from the pads into the pores of the brake rotor. It also matches the microscopic contours of the pads and rotors to increase surface contact. Proper bedding of pads & rotors will result in greater performance, longer pad life & less rotor wear. Failure to properly bed in your pads could lead to friction materials chunking and breaking up. This could also lead to overheating your pads and causing them to glaze over resulting in the car not being able to stop or slow fast enough. All new brake pads require a bedding process. The proper way to bed your brake pads and brake discs (rotors) is to bed them on the racetrack, NOT on the street. Start this process by pumping your brakes a few times to assure proper installation. Once on track perform several moderate (medium) near stops (to a very slow rolling speed) to thoroughly warm up the pads and rotors. This should take 1-2 laps. This allows a thin layer of the pad material to be transferred into the micro-grooves of the rotor. After the pads/rotors are warm, perform a series of hard near stops (to a slow rolling speed) until some brake fade is felt. This process should take about 2-4 laps (depending on the track). Once this occurs, then stay off the brakes (as much as possible) and bring your car into the pits/paddock to completely cool. Do not lock the tires during this operation. Allow brake pads and/or rotors cool down to ambient temperatures; no less than 30 minutes. The total bedding procedure should not take more than 5-6 laps or about 10-15 minutes. Failure to properly bed in your pads could cause friction material to chunk and break up resulting in poor pad performance and pad life. Improper bedding can also lead to overheating your pads and causing them to glaze over, resulting in the car not being able to stop or slow properly.
