GiroDisc Racing Brakes & Technologies
SS-1405 Girodisc S-S Pads for Mercedes AMG 6 Piston Calipers (Front)
$325.00
The Girodisc S/S or "street/strip" pads represent the ultimate in high performance brake pads. The semi-metallic compound maintains a consistent coefficient of friction from 0o to 1000o F, making them an ideal option for people who are looking for a dual-purpose pad that works really well on both the street and the race track. The formula has very little compressibility, ensuring a very firm pedal and immediate bite and making the S/S pads a favorite among autocrossers and drivers who demand the most out of their street cars. Inevitably, these will dust more than Girodisc Magic Pads, but with the Girodisc anti-noise shims that come on every set of pads they will not make any noise if they are bedded-in properly.
We recommend always replacing pads as a whole car set when switching compounds. All S/S pads come with anti-noise shims pre-installed and included in the price.

Power source: 110VAC
Anti-bacterial: eliminates odors and controls bacteria growth
Dual dryer ports: yes
Temperature display: Celsius or Fahrenheit
Durable and compact
Temperature and timer settings

Great way to heat up your helmet shield to prevent fogging
Helmet, gloves, and shoes each sold separately
Keep your gear fresh and dry with the Multi-Equipment Dryer from Simpson. Perspiration and bacteria, as it sits in your helmet, gloves, socks, and shoes over time, can quicken the process of erosion. If you want to combat this and keep your equipment in peak condition for longer periods of time, stop the mildew and mold before it begins.
KEEP YOUR RACING HELMET CLEAN AND FRESH
The most popular way to use the Simpson Equipment Sterilizer and Dryer is on your helmet. Simply place your helmet on the Simpson dryer and press start. The pre-programmed schedule will first push heated, de-ionized air through your helmet, and then blow dry air through.
RACING GLOVES SHOULD BE NICE AND DRY
Change the dual-output helmet base to the individual bases and you can easily heat and dry your racing gloves. The Simpson Equipment Sterilizer and Dryer kills bacteria so you get that fresh-out-of-the-dryer feeling without destroying your gloves.
BLOW THE SWEAT AND FUNK OUT OF THOSE SHOES
The Simpson Equipment Sterilizer and Dryer is not just for auto racing boots. Your motocross boots, ski boots, cycling shoes, or favorite pair running shoes will also benefit from being disinfected, warmed, and dried. Kill the stench and keep your kicks fresh.
HELP KEEP YOUR HELMET VISOR CLEAR
Temperature changes can cause your helmet shield to fog up, inside and out. The Simpson Equipment Sterilizer and Dryer has a temperature control, so it can blow heated air to warm up your helmet on cold days, preventing a foggy shield on track. This is just one of the many benefits of using a temp-controlled, multi-equipment dryer.

The new ARAI GP-7SRC ABP is a stunning example of Arai vision and technological mastery, engineered into a functional, real-world piece of safety equipment. It begins with a startling advancement: a proprietary Carbon Fiber (CF) weave that combines CF existing benefits of high strength and extreme light weight.
But there's a major added benefit that standard CF does not possess: flexibility. (Standard CF tends to splinter or shatter instead of flex on impact.) The result is a helmet ready for the unparalleled demands and requirements of high end closed-cockpit racing. The remaining list of ARAI GP-7SRC features and advances is impressive because, for this helmet and its prospective user, it simply has to be. The ARAI GP-7SRC ABP meets or exceeds the FIA 8860-2018 ABP homologation standard.
ARAI GP-7SRC ABP 8860-2018 CARBON FIBER HELMET - ABP (ADVANCED BALLISTIC PROTECTION)
FIA's new ABP (Advanced Ballistic Protection) specification is intended especially for drivers in open cars.
The ARAI GP-7SRC ABP has been strengthened in the forehead area, incorporating an external intrusion panel (previously mounted to the shield) that is now integrated into the helmet shell itself. The ABP homologation was written to reduce the risk of injury from debris or other objects striking a driver head.
ARAI GP-7SRC ABP 8860-2018 CARBON FIBER HELMET - VENTILATION
Three large, closeable, intake vents combined with larger 10mm holes and two aditional exhaust vents in the center of the helmet greatly increase air flow. A redesigned exhaust cowling improves aerodynamics, drawing out hot air escaping the helmet. The GP-7SRC comes with all vents unattached so you can customize the vent configuration to your specific needs.
ARAI GP-7SRC ABP 8860-2018 CARBON FIBER HELMET - POSITIVE SHIELD LATCH
Arai's positive latch mechanism provides solid shield closure while allowing normal operation of the shield. Designed as an integral component of the shield system, not just an add-on afterthought, its functional simplicity belies the complexity of the design.
ARAI GP-7SRC ABP 8860-2018 CARBON FIBER HELMET - HANS POST ANCHORS
Integrated seats accommodate a variety of Head and Neck Restraint devices. Pre-installed M6 threaded washer/nut with 6mm threads accepts a variety of anchor systems, making installation easy. The flat surface around the mounting nut allows the anchor post to rest flush on the helmet surface.

An effective helmet is one that fits properly. Have an assistant use a measuring tape, or a piece of string to measure the circumference of your head starting at a point approximately one inch above the eyebrows in front, around a point in the back of the head that results in the largest possible measurement, and finally wrapping back to the front. It's a good idea to take several measurements to make sure you have the largest one.

ARAI GP-7SRC ABP 8860-2018 CARBON FIBER HELMET FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ):
Remember that safety is paramount in auto racing, and choosing the right helmet and maintaining it properly is essential for your protection on the track. Always consult with the professionals at Discovery Parts and refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific questions about your racing helmet.
Why do I need a racing helmet?
Auto racing helmets are designed to protect drivers from head injuries and fire during high-speed races and crashes. They are a crucial safety component in motorsports.
How do I choose the right size ARAI GP-7SRC ABP helmet? You should measure your head's circumference using a flexible tape measure, then refer to the manufacturer's sizing chart to select the appropriate size helmet. Please review our blog posting on how to properly fit your new auto racing helmet from Discovery Parts.
What safety standards should I look for in a ARAI GP-7SRC ABP racing helmet? Look for helmets that meet safety standards like Snell and FIA depending on your racing discipline. These standards ensure the helmet's safety and quality. DOT helmets are designed for street use and not for racing and track use.
What's the difference between full-face and open-face, and helmets? Full-face helmets provide the most protection with a complete face shield, while open-face helmets cover the top and sides of the head.

It's recommended to use a helmet specifically designed for auto racing which includes fire protection in addition to impact protection.
How often should I replace my ARAI GP-7SRC ABP auto racing helmet? Auto racing helmets should be replaced every 5-10 years, depending on the manufacturer's recommendations and usage. If the helmet is involved in a crash, it should be replaced immediately.
Are expensive racing helmets safer than budget ones? Safety standards dictate the minimum safety requirements, so even budget-friendly helmets can offer protection. However it’s important to consider how lower-priced helmets are meeting the required testing standards. More expensive helmets are lighter, smaller, are constructed of superior materials, and often come with additional features then less expensive helmets.
How do I maintain and clean my ARAI GP-7SRC ABP racing helmet? Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and maintenance. You should clean the exterior, interior and shield with the Molecule Helmet Care Kit.
Do I need to wear a balaclava under my ARAI GP-7SRC ABP racing helmet? Balaclavas are typically not required for Driver's Education events, however they make wearing a helmet much, much more comfortable. Balaclavas will provide fire protection (if fire rated), help keep your helmet lining clean and order free by absorbing the majority of sweat while using it, and additionally balaclavas make putting your helmet on and taking it off by protecting your ears and keeping from from folding over when you helmet is worn. Discovery Parts recommends balaclavas from Alpinestars, OMP, Sabelt, Sparco, and Stand21. If you are entering sanctioned auto racing events, balaclavas will be required for fire protection.
Is the SNELL SA Rating important? The Snell SA2020 certification is a safety standard established by the Snell Memorial Foundation for auto racing helmets. It sets the criteria and requirements that helmets must meet to be considered safe and suitable for use in motorsport events. Snell SA2020 certification is highly regarded in the motorsports industry and is often required or recommended by racing organizations and events. It signifies that a helmet has passed rigorous testing to provide maximum safety for drivers in various motorsport disciplines, including road racing, NASCAR, Formula 1, drag racing, and more. It's essential for drivers to check the specific safety standards required by the racing organizations they participate in to ensure compliance.
Is the FIA helmet certification important? Yes, FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile) certification is crucial for auto racing helmets, especially in the context of international motorsport events and many national and regional racing series in the USA. The FIA 8859-2015 standard is commonly associated with racing helmets used in various motorsport disciplines. Helmets certified to FIA 8859-2015 met the safety requirements set by the FIA and were widely accepted in many racing series
Which helmet certification is the most stringent and the hardest to meet? The FIA 8860-2018 certification is considered the most stringent and advanced helmet certifications available for auto racing helmets, and it is often associated with top-tier motorsport categories like Formula 1. It's important to note that the FIA 8860-2018 helmets offer a high level of protection and their use is mandatory in many racing series. Drivers should always check the regulations of the racing series they intend to participate in to ensure compliance with helmet certification standards.
Can I wear glasses with my ARAI GP-7SRC ABP helmet? Most helmets have provisions for wearing glasses or goggles, but check the design to be sure. Most manufacturers feature helmet models with wider eye ports to better accommodate eye glasses.
Are carbon fiber helmets better? Carbon fiber helmets are lightweight and strong, a top choice for racers. But remember, certification matters most.
Can I use a used helmet for racing? It's best to buy a new helmet. Used helmets may have unseen damage or be out of date on safety standards.
Can I buy replacement parts for my ARAI GP-7SRC ABP helmet, like visors or padding? Many manufacturers offer replacement parts, including visors and padding, to extend your helmet's lifespan.
How can I prevent helmet fogging during races? Anti-fog sprays and inserts are available to help keep your visor clear during races.
What's the importance of proper helmet ventilation? Proper ventilation helps keep you cool and comfortable during races, reducing the risk of heat exhaustion.
How do I store my ARAI GP-7SRC ABP helmet between races? Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and chemicals in a bag designed to store your auto racing helmet, like the Discovery Parts Evo Helmet Bag.
Where can I buy a certified racing helmet? You should only buy from a professional authorized dealer who has sold thousands of helmets. You can find all the best brands at Discovery Parts online at www.discoveryparts.com or visit our retail store at Atlanta Motorsports park or at one of the hundreds of race and track day events we attend and support.
