DESCRIPTION
Upgrade the braking performance of your 2005-2006 Ford GT with Girodisc 2-piece Brake Rotors A2-043.
The Girodisc system is a direct replacement for the OE disc. No modifications are necessary—the disc bolts directly to the car and works with OE calipers perfectly. By upgrading your brakes with lightweight high-performance replacements as opposed to a big brake kit, your factory bias is maintained as well as your ABS efficiency. The Girodisc rear rotors weigh approximately 20 lbs each. This reduction in rotational and unsprung weight allows for quicker acceleration and improved suspension response.
The central hat section of our rotor is made from strictly U.S.-sourced 6061-T6 aircraft specification aluminum. The disc is made from our proprietary cast iron, poured in the USA and machined from start to finish in-house at Girodisc. The rotor utilizes a curved vane design, developed in racing to act as a centrifugal pump to force cooling air through the disc.
The rotor and hat feature a floating mount system, which utilizes 8 or 10 high-strength alloy steel drive pins, manufactured by Girodisc in the USA to our specifications and cadmium plated for long-lasting corrosion resistance. These pins take the load from braking actions while maintaining axial and radial float between the hat and disc. The pins are secured by class 12.9 cap screws with hardened washers. To prevent noise when cold, the pins are mounted with anti-noise spring washers on the rotor side. This setup allows the rotor to expand with heat while eliminating the rattle and noise often associated with floating rotors. This float also enables the rotor to self-center between the pads.
Once the Girodisc system is in place, simply replace the cast iron rotor when needed.
