GiroDisc 10-13 Audi TT RS (8J) Slotted Front Rings

These GiroDisc front rotor rings are made from a high-carbon iron alloy, a material chosen for its ability to handle the heat generated during hard braking. The rings feature a unique slot pattern, which helps to sweep away dust and gas that can build up between the pad and rotor surface. This slotting design is crucial for maintaining consistent stopping power, especially during repeated heavy braking events like those experienced on a track or during spirited driving.

The GiroDisc system uses a two-piece design, separating the rotor ring from the hat. This construction method is important because it allows the rotor ring to expand and contract freely with temperature changes without putting stress on the mounting hardware. This not only helps prevent rotor warping over time but also makes replacement easier, as you only need to swap out the worn rotor ring, not the entire assembly. The hats themselves are typically made from anodized aluminum, which is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, further contributing to the longevity and performance of the braking system.

This set includes the front rotor rings only. You will need to reuse your existing caliper hats and hardware for installation. Ensure your caliper hats are in good condition before installing new rings. These are designed as a direct replacement for the factory rotor rings, making the installation process straightforward for someone familiar with brake component replacement.
