Seems like a nice alternative to the AP racing rotors for 500 bucks less. Weight savings is 9.3 lbs per side. Anyone have experience with this company? How do they compare to AP?

I love their products, I had a set of Girodisc rotors on my evo x to go with the factory Brembo's

Now theres a price I am willing to consider paying for 2-piece rotors.

Thanks for posting

And they're lighter than the AP racing rotors! 24.1 lbs vs 24.6, half a pound per side!

wow...These are sweet looking setup. Couple these with some nice aftermarket, lightweight wheels and you can have 15-20lbs weight saving per side in the front.

Ya i think its a no-brainer when its time for new rotors... what is a more difficult decision is buying them when the stock rotors are still in good shape. I will be thrilled if I can get my car, with the blower kit on, back down to its original stock curb weight.

I had Giro discs on my 2010GT/RR and they worked great. I didn't put a ton of mile on them but i never had any issues with them.

I read on a GTR forum that a guy cracked his after 8 track days, that should be taken with a grain of salt as I don't know all the specifics. I'm hoping these are just as durable as the AP rotors when pushed long and hard at the track.

They make good stuff. These are popular in the import community. I was thinking about slapping a set on the wifes evo x.

Why not wait and buy the shelby 15.5 rotors?

Well for one, I doubt they will fit the stock PP calipers.

Won't fit and likely will be the same cost as these that are listed.

Great weight savings. Hopefully they are working on the base model option.

I used girodisc rotors on my evolution 8 not too long ago. They did not last too long after a few HPDE days.

I switched to AP discs and found that the actual material of the disc is better. Overall it just last longer. I have 4 hard trackdays on this set and the discs look great. No spider cracks or anything odd.

While these have a lower initial cost you also have to make sure that you take into account that you may be replacing the discs more often than the AP units.
