C8 Corvette Z06 Girodisc A1-320 Front Rotor Conversion (for Z07 CCB) Upgrade your C8 Z06’s braking system with the Girodisc A1-320 Front Rotor Conversion—designed specifically for Z07-equipped cars with carbon ceramic brakes. This 2-piece rotor kit bolts right up to the OEM calipers and replaces the factory carbon ceramics with high-performance iron rotors for improved consistency and cost-effectiveness on the track. Direct Fitment for Z07 Carbon Ceramic Brake Cars Fitment: Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 with factory Z07 CCB rotors This Girodisc system is engineered as a direct swap for the factory carbon ceramic front rotors on Z07-package C8 Z06 Corvettes. It retains the OEM calipers but uses a different pad shape (D1405), which is the same shape found on non-Z07 C8 Z06 models. The rotor rings are crafted from Girodisc’s proprietary high-carbon steel alloy, offering outstanding thermal stability and longevity. With 72 curved internal vanes, these rotors act as centrifugal air pumps, pulling in cool air through the hub to fight brake fade during aggressive use. The aluminum rotor hats are CNC-machined from 6061-T6 and anodized black for long-term corrosion resistance. The floating rotor design uses cadmium-plated drive pins, spring clips, and washers to allow axial float—ensuring race-ready performance while remaining quiet enough for the street. When the rotors reach minimum thickness (34mm) or if a crack extends to the edge, simply replace the rings (D1-320) and reuse the hats—keeping running costs low over time. Sold and priced per pair.

C8 Corvette Z06 Girodisc A2-319 Rear Rotors (for OEM Steel & Z07 CCB) Fitment: Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 This Girodisc two-piece rotor set is a direct replacement for the rear rotors on the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 with either the factory cast iron rotors or the Z07 carbon ceramic rotors1. Girodisc two-piece, fully floating rotor assemblies help shed unsprung weight and rotating mass from the front axle of the C8 Z06 with iron rotors, while being far more durable in track use than the fragile and very expensive Z07 carbon ceramic rotors. American Made With Specially Formulated Materials Girodisc rotor rings are machined from a proprietary casting made of high-carbon steel formulated to Girodisc’s specifications. This superior metallurgy results in a rotor that holds up better, and the 72 curved vanes act as a centrifugal pump pulling air in through the hub to effectively cool the rotors under hard use. The two-piece design means the reusable hat which can be attached to new rotor rings (part number D2-319) when the latter need to be replaced. All major components including the hats, rotor rings, and drive pins are manufactured in-house at the Girodisc facility in Bellingham, WA, from domestically-sourced materials. The hat is made from 6061-T6 aluminum and coated in a black anodized finish. The drive pins are made from a high-strength steel alloy and cadmium-plated for corrosion resistance. All rotors are assembled with spring clips and Belleville washers for race-ready float while also being street-friendly with no noise from loose hardware. The minimum thickness at which we recommend replacing these rings is 32mm. We also recommend replacing them if a crack leads to the edge of the ring.

C8 Corvette Z06 Girodisc A1-319 Front Brake Rotors (OEM Steel Rotors) Fitment: Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 Front with Factory Cast Iron Rotors For the Corvette C8 Z06 with factory Z07 carbon ceramic rotors, see Girodisc A1-320. This Girodisc two-piece floating rotor system is a direct replacement for the OEM cast iron brake rotors on the C8 Z06 Corvette. The Girodisc two-piece rotors will bolt directly to the C8 Z06 and work perfectly with OEM calipers. By upgrading your C8 Z06 brakes to these lightweight, high-performance replacements -- as opposed to a big brake kit -- your factory brake bias is maintained as well as your ABS efficiency. These Girodisc rotors are lighter than OEM pieces, reducing rotational and unsprung mass for quicker acceleration, sharper suspension response, and better brake feel. When used with Pagid or PFC high-performance brake pads and RF1 racing brake fluid, this Girodisc rotor system gives you an amazing solution to overheating, cracking and warping rotors. The central hat section of the disc is made from 6061-T6 aircraft specification aluminum. The rotor itself is manufactured from a proprietary cast iron, domestically sourced and made to the same specification used by professional racing organizations. The rotor's curved vane design was developed in racing and acts as a centrifugal pump to force cooling air through the disc. The rotor and hat are joined by a floating mount system utilizing 8-10 high strength alloy steel drive pins manufactured by Girodisc in-house, then cadmium plated for corrosion resistance. The alloy drive pins transfer breaking load while maintaining axial and radial float between the disc rotor and hat. The pins are secured by Grade-12 cap screws and hardened washers, mounted with anti-noise spring washers to allow for heat expansion while eliminating the rattle and noise typically associated with floating rotors. The two-piece Girodisc design allows for rotor-ring replacement as well, minimizing future replacement costs while delivering outstanding performance and cooling. Priced/sold per pair.

Which Ferodo pad is best for endurance racing? DS3.12 and DS1.11 are both endurance compounds, but DS3.12 offers longer life and more consistent torque at extreme temps. 4. Are Ferodo race pads noisy? DS2500 is very quiet. DS3.12 is relatively silent when bedded properly. DS1.11 can be noisy, especially when cold. 5. What’s the best pad for HPDE beginners? DS2500 is ideal for beginners using street tires and moderate track use. XP8 (from Carbotech) is another great option if more bite is needed. 6. Do Ferodo pads require bedding? Yes. Proper bedding ensures maximum performance, even pad wear, and rotor compatibility. Always follow the Ferodo bedding procedure included with your pads. How to Bed In Ferodo Racing Brake Pads (DS2500, DS1.11, DS3.12) Properly bedding in your Ferodo Racing brake pads ensures optimal performance, pad longevity, and rotor compatibility. Whether you're using Ferodo DS2500 for HPDE or DS3.12 and DS1.11 for professional-level endurance racing, following a structured bedding procedure is critical. Below is a simplified step-by-step chart to guide the break-in process. Step Description 1. Safety First Never perform the following activities on public roads but rather ensure you are in a safe and controlled environment such as a skidpad or racetrack for bedding in.  2. Initial Bedding Heat Cycles Perform 5 moderate stops from 60 mph to 10 mph without engaging ABS. Do not come to a complete stop. Allow light rolling between applications to avoid pad imprinting. 3. Medium Pressure Braking After light bedding, perform 10-15 hard stops from 80 mph to 10 mph using maximum pedal pressure to avoid ABS or locking the tires. Pads should begin to emit some odor and light smoke, indicating proper transfer layer development. 4. Cool-Down Phase Drive for 5 minutes whole minimizing brake use. This allows pads and rotors to cool gradually and evenly, preventing thermal shock and ensuring proper pad bonding. 5. Post-Bedding Rest Let the rest for 24-48 hours if possible. This helps fully cure the pad resins and stabilize the pad compound structure for maximum performance. Important Bedding Tips: Do not come to a complete stop while pads are hot.  Avoid heavy braking with new pads before completing the bedding process.  Always bed in pads and rotors as a matched set (used pads on new rotors or vice versa can cause poor performance).  Proper bedding improves brake modulation, reduces judder, and maximizes the lifespan of your Ferodo racing pads. Whether you run Ferodo DS2500 on the street or DS1.11 or DS3.12 on the track, take time to bed them in right—your braking performance depends on it. Important Note Ferodo Racing Brake Pads are for off-road use only. These products contain copper and are not legal for road use in some regions. It is the buyer’s responsibility to determine legal compliance based on their location.

Can I daily drive on Ferodo DS2500 brake pads? Yes. The DS2500 offers excellent manners on the street and solid performance on the track, making it a top choice for dual-purpose applications. 2. Is DS3.12 too aggressive for street tires? It can be. DS3.12 has a high mu and strong initial bite, which may activate ABS more frequently with street tires. Best used with slicks or R-compounds. 3. Which Ferodo pad is best for endurance racing? DS3.12 and DS1.11 are both endurance compounds, but DS3.12 offers longer life and more consistent torque at extreme temps. 4. Are Ferodo race pads noisy? DS2500 is very quiet. DS3.12 is relatively silent when bedded properly. DS1.11 can be noisy, especially when cold. 5. What’s the best pad for HPDE beginners? DS2500 is ideal for beginners using street tires and moderate track use. XP8 (from Carbotech) is another great option if more bite is needed. 6. Do Ferodo pads require bedding? Yes. Proper bedding ensures maximum performance, even pad wear, and rotor compatibility. Always follow the Ferodo bedding procedure included with your pads. How to Bed In Ferodo Racing Brake Pads (DS2500, DS1.11, DS3.12) Properly bedding in your Ferodo Racing brake pads ensures optimal performance, pad longevity, and rotor compatibility. Whether you're using Ferodo DS2500 for HPDE or DS3.12 and DS1.11 for professional-level endurance racing, following a structured bedding procedure is critical. Below is a simplified step-by-step chart to guide the break-in process. Step Description 1. Safety First Never perform the following activities on public roads but rather ensure you are in a safe and controlled environment such as a skidpad or racetrack for bedding in.  2. Initial Bedding Heat Cycles Perform 5 moderate stops from 60 mph to 10 mph without engaging ABS. Do not come to a complete stop. Allow light rolling between applications to avoid pad imprinting. 3. Medium Pressure Braking After light bedding, perform 10-15 hard stops from 80 mph to 10 mph using maximum pedal pressure to avoid ABS or locking the tires. Pads should begin to emit some odor and light smoke, indicating proper transfer layer development. 4. Cool-Down Phase Drive for 5 minutes whole minimizing brake use. This allows pads and rotors to cool gradually and evenly, preventing thermal shock and ensuring proper pad bonding. 5. Post-Bedding Rest Let the rest for 24-48 hours if possible. This helps fully cure the pad resins and stabilize the pad compound structure for maximum performance. Important Bedding Tips: Do not come to a complete stop while pads are hot.  Avoid heavy braking with new pads before completing the bedding process.  Always bed in pads and rotors as a matched set (used pads on new rotors or vice versa can cause poor performance).  Proper bedding improves brake modulation, reduces judder, and maximizes the lifespan of your Ferodo racing pads. Whether you run Ferodo DS2500 on the street or DS1.11 or DS3.12 on the track, take time to bed them in right—your braking performance depends on it.
