GiroDisc 2006 Audi R8 (Excl CCM) 380mm (w/Spacers) Slotted Rear Rotors

This is a set of GiroDisc 380mm slotted rear rotors specifically made for the 2006 Audi R8, excluding models with Carbon Ceramic Matrix (CCM) brakes. These rotors are designed to replace your factory rear rotors and are a significant upgrade for drivers looking for improved braking performance, especially under demanding conditions. GiroDisc is known for producing well-built brake components that offer a noticeable difference in how your car stops.

What sets these rotors apart is their construction and design. They feature a unique two-piece floating rotor design. The rotor ring itself is made from a proprietary cast iron alloy that's formulated for high thermal capacity, meaning it can handle a lot of heat without warping or cracking. This is crucial for performance driving where brakes are used hard and repeatedly. The rotor ring is then attached to a CNC-machined, anodized aluminum hat via a floating mount system. This floating design allows the rotor ring to expand and contract independently of the hat as it heats up and cools down, which helps prevent stress cracks and ensures consistent contact with your brake pads. The slots machined into the rotor surface are not just for looks; they help to vent gases and heat away from the pad surface, keeping your brakes cooler and providing a more consistent bite, especially during spirited driving or track use. This set also includes necessary spacers for proper installation.

When installing these rotors, you'll want to ensure you have compatible brake pads. While these rotors are designed to work with many aftermarket pads, pairing them with performance-oriented pads will maximize their benefits. Because they are a direct replacement for the factory rear rotors, installation is straightforward, but it's always recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details and torque specifications. This upgrade is a solid choice for Audi R8 owners who want to enhance their vehicle's braking capabilities with a durable and effective component.
