A1-156 Girodisc Two-Piece 410mm Front Brake Rotors
FITMENT:
- Porsche 911 Carrera Turbo (991), Front
- Porsche Cayman GT4 (981), Front
This Girodisc system is a 410mm two-piece steel rotor and aluminum hat combination, a direct-replacement upgrade for your car's OEM PCCB brakes1. The Girodisc A1-156 will bolt directly to your Porsche and work perfectly with your OEM calipers.
There are two main reasons for replacing your PCCB: first, Girodisc rotors are designed to shed heat more effectively than the original rotors; second, the machined cast iron rotor rings are far more durable than the fragile PCCB rotors. This is critical when you're swapping wheels on-and-off the car for track days or racing. It's so easy to nick a carbon rotor and take a chunk out of it, rendering it useless.
Pair these Girodisc rotors with Girodisc A2-156 rear rotors to maintain your factory brake bias and ABS efficiency. When used with Pagid or PFC performance brake pads, and CMS RF1 brake fluid, you have an excellent solution to easily cracked carbon-ceramic rotors.
The central hat section of the Girodisc is made from 6061-T6 aircraft specification aluminum. The disc is manufactured from cast iron constructed in the USA, made to the same specification with the same material used by professional racing organizations. The rotors' curved vane design was developed in racing and acts as a centrifugal pump to force cooling air through the disc.
The rotor and hat mount together through a floating mount system which utilizes ten high strength alloy steel drive pins manufactured by Girodisc in the USA to their own specifications and are cadmium plated for corrosion resistance. The alloy drive pins transfer the load from the brake action while maintaining the axial and radial float between the disc rotor and hat. The pins are secured by Grade-12 cap screws with hardened washers and mounted with anti-noise spring washers to allow for heat expansion while eliminating the rattle and noise associated with floating rotors.
The two-piece Girodisc design allows for disc-only replacement as well, minimizing future replacement costs and delivering outstanding performance.
Sold/priced per pair.
1 Note: you must use the same pad shape as that used on the Porsche 991/992 GT3/Turbo with factory iron rotors. The annulus (pad swept height) of these pads is smaller than that of the large PCCB pads.
