We are on our fifth weekend with our girodisc two piece rotors. Yes they are expensive, but they are worth it. They are so much better with heat management.
Install was rather simple and the stopping power is great.
I used the Power Stop Z36 kit. It has drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads. It was about $425 for all 4 shipped directly to my house last year. So far they seem great.
Went with power stop rotors and pads. Serious upgrade over stock. Very happy.
I got the powerstop set for the front. Heavy duty drilled/slotted rotors, nice pads and new calipers for 200 bucks.
Follow up after my track day: The Girodiscs + Pagids were amazing. Tons of bite, and zero fade, plus plenty of pedal feel after two days of running hard at VIR.
On a brake related note...anyone know if Power Stop rotors & pads are good quality? Looking to upgrade my stock units and these are pretty affordable on Amazon.
I have had great success with Girodisc rotors this summer. I have been using Ferodo DS2500 pads for a few years and love them, but rotor temperatures would hit 800+ degrees after track sessions and conventional rotors, like Stop Tech, developed surface cracking and maybe a bit of warp. Girodisc rotor temps have been around 550 degrees after sessions this summer.
Lots of options for just rotors/pads Powerstop Z23 - PowerStop Evolution Brake Upgrade for Daily Drivers | Quiet and Clean
I used powerstop heavy duty slotted rotors. They were great, not a single shimmy after 50k on them. Pads I usually go for a high quality Akebono ceramic.
