Girodisc Honda FK8, FL5 Civic Type R Rear Rotors
Upgrade your Civic Type R’s braking performance with Girodisc’s lightweight two-piece rear rotors, engineered specifically for the FK8 and FL5 platforms. Designed as a direct OEM replacement, these rotors reduce weight, improve cooling, and deliver consistent stopping power whether you’re carving corners on track or driving spiritedly on the street.
Track-Proven Design for Precision Braking
The Girodisc system bolts directly to factory calipers—no modifications or adapters needed. Each rotor features a CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum hat paired with Girodisc’s proprietary cast iron friction ring, both made in the USA. The floating two-piece construction allows thermal expansion under extreme heat without warping, maintaining perfect pad contact and consistent pedal feel. At just 8.8 lbs per rotor versus the OEM 10.7 lbs units, the Girodisc design sheds valuable unsprung mass for sharper handling and quicker response.

Girodisc A2-166 Rear Rotor FAQs:
Do these rotors fit both the FK8 and FL5 Type R models? Yes. Girodisc engineered this rotor set to fit both generations, maintaining exact OEM dimensions and caliper clearances for plug-and-play installation.
What kind of performance improvement should I expect? You’ll notice faster braking response, more consistent pedal feel during hard use, and reduced fade thanks to improved heat dissipation and lower mass.
Are Girodisc rotors noisier than stock? No. The anti-noise spring washers eliminate chatter and vibration while allowing thermal float, so operation remains quiet and refined even under heavy braking.
Can I use OEM brake pads with these? Absolutely. They’re fully compatible with factory pads or performance compounds from brands like Ferodo, Pagid, or Hawk.
