No
these are 2 piece rotors. You only need to replace the outer ring when they are worn down to replacement level.
that's not an advantage when the full oem 2 peice is cheaper than the ring though.... there's gotta be something else that makes them better to be a good purchase IMO
From my experience with the fronts - durability. The OEMs last about half as long. It's nice when you have lots of back to back track days to not have to worry about rotors.
hopefully by the time i go thru another oem set you'll have a better feel haha.... I almost pulled the trigger this last time but decided to run oem one more time
From a purely cost perspective, they're definitely hard to justify. Have to run a ton of track days to make it worth it. I think I calculated you'd need to run through 4.5 sets of OEM rotors to break even if the Giros were lasting 1.5x as long. It's not great.
not gonna lie, having matching rotors IS a selling point even though it just adds to the cost haha.From a purely cost perspective, they're definitely hard to justify.

But I can say that the material seems better, they responded to my first day on them better (zero cracking of any kind), and they have a better design (slots vs. blanks/holes). For the rears, I'm guessing it'll mostly be an upgrade for those of us that are anal and struggling with different rotors front and rear
You sound like a good candidate then! It's nice not having to swap rotors so much.
We have talked on FB in past quite a bit... currently just killed a set of RE71R and am on GY Supercar 3 now... plus a set of super sports for iffy weather. maybe try the 3R next but not sure. The SC3 so far looks like it will last a long time with decent grip.
