GiroDisc 2017+ Audi TT RS (8S) Slotted Front Rotors

If you're pushing your 2017+ Audi TT RS (8S) hard on the track or just want improved stopping power for spirited street driving, upgrading your front brake rotors is a smart move. These slotted rotors from GiroDisc are designed to handle the heat and stress that come with aggressive braking, offering a noticeable improvement over stock components. They help keep your brakes performing consistently when you need them most.

GiroDisc uses a high-carbon, iron alloy for these rotors, which is known for its strength and ability to resist thermal cracking under heavy use. The slots machined into the rotor surface are not just for looks; they serve a crucial function. As the brake pads heat up, they release gases and wear particles. These slots help to sweep these away from the pad surface, preventing a layer of gas from building up between the pad and rotor. This action helps maintain consistent friction and reduces the chance of brake fade, especially during repeated hard stops. The rotors are also vented, which is standard for performance applications, to help dissipate heat more effectively. This combination of materials and design means you get a rotor that can take a beating and keep stopping strong.

When installing these rotors, you'll find they are designed as a direct replacement for your factory front rotors, meaning no modifications are typically needed for installation. However, it's always a good idea to inspect your brake pads and calipers while you have the rotors off, as worn pads or a sticky caliper can impact new rotor performance. For best results, pair these rotors with performance brake pads that are designed to work well with slotted rotors.
