Brake discs Detroit Axle or GiroDisc
Reviews
I have girodisc’s on my 981 cayman, they are fantastic rotors, I started off with DS2500 pads but I used up >50% of all the pads in one track weekend at road Atlanta, I’ve got another event this weekend but I’m running DS1.11 this time around.
Pros: fantastic rotors
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayman
Absolutely love my girodiscs. I’m on DS2500s which its time for an upgrade to a more aggressive pad, but they’ve held up through quite some heat lol.
Pros: held up through heat
Vehicle:
Porsche
Went from OEM to Girodisc 350mm. All street, no track. By far the best upgrade I have done to my 991.2 C4.
Pros: best upgrade, improved performance
Vehicle:
Porsche
Go with the Giro's and leave them on permanently. Better cooling and braking and cheaper to replace just the discs (2 piece rotor) on future replacement.
Pros: better cooling, better braking

Pros: pretty good brakes
GiroDisc 2 piece rotors. Excellent weight saving and stopping power.
Pros: excellent stopping power
Cons: weight saving
Vehicle:

I rebuilt the RS3 calipers in Lapiz Blue and ended up using TT-RS Girodisc rotors due to the Golf R hub being a slightly different offset. Great pedal feel!
Pros: Great pedal feel

On my Honda CRV I've found the best value for money for driving on Michigan salted roads are the Deteoit Axle OEM coated rotor & pad re0lacement kit, comes with inserts, grease, top up brake fluid, brake cleaner, eventually the electroplated coating on the braking surface wears off from braking & you get rust spots if they sit outside covered in the salt slush, but the hub mating surfaces & venting fins been covered in 2 Michigan winters of snow & salt & still not a spot of rust on the rotor.
Pros: good value, rust resistant
Cons: coating wears off
Vehicle:
Honda
I use them. Hard to say if they’re better than stock but they’re cheaper
Pros: cheaper than stock
Cons: performance similar to stock
I had the Detroit axel rotors on my fronts for a while and they were just a little too small and caused the pads to squeak after a while from uneven wear since part of the pad didn\u2019t hit the rotor due to it being a couple millimeters too small.
Pros: null
Cons: too small, caused squeaking
