Details of the F360-F430 replacement rotor. The press release below has all the details, but here is what’s really important –
1. Direct bolt on replacement – drilled or slotted
2. COSTS LESS THAN THE 1PC OE ROTOR FROM THE DEALER!
3. Only the iron rotor needs replacing when it is worn down to min thickness. This costs even less again!
4. Weighs less and sheds heat better than OE
Girodisc Announce Lightweight Two-Piece Brake Disc Set for 2000-2004 FERRARI F360 and F430
COSTA MESA, CA – March 2007 – Girodisc announces its lightweight Ferrari F360 two-piece brake rotor system. The Girodisc brake rotor system is a direct replacement for the OE F360 front and rear, and provides significant weight, handling, and brake fade-resistance performance benefits. The rotor set is compatible with the OE brake pads and will also tolerate the higher heat and wear levels of performance and racing spec pads. The Girodisc system provides an economical and performance enhancing replacement solution for vehicles which will see track use. Additional product benefits of the Girodisc lightweight brake rotor system include:
• Weight Savings: The Girodisc brake system weigh in at 9.2 lb less than the OE system. 2.3 lb Lbs per disc is removed in front and 2.3 lbs from each rear disc. The Girodisc front discs offer a 14.5 % improvement in surface area-to-weight for the front and rear rotor. The light weight disc decreases the rotational inertia of the braking system and reduces unsprung mass.
• Braking Performance: The rotor is a two-piece design developed in racing to produce a lightweight rotor that can compensate for the different expansion rates between the hat and rotor and eliminate the possibility of rotor warping. The rotor and hat have a floating mount system, which utilizes 10 high strength alloy steel drive pins, which allows for axial and radial float. In order to keep the rotors from making noise when cold, the pins are mounted with anti-noise springs which allow the rotor to grow but eliminate rattle. This float also allows the rotor to self center between the pads. Thirty-two directionally curved vanes in the rotor act as a centrifugal air pump and actively move cooling air through the rotor as it rotates helping to shed heat quickly and reduce brake pad fading. The discs are also slotted, allowing a maximized contact at the interface between pad and disc as the edges of the slots continuously clean and refresh the pad surface.
• High Quality Materials: The Girodisc lightweight discs use only the highest quality materials and components. The rotors are high carbon content iron for long wear and stable thermal performance, with zinc plating for corrosion resistance. The top hat section is aircraft 6061 T-6 billet aluminum with a gun-metal color anodized finish. The disc hardware consists of 10 cadmium plated alloy steel drive bushings which take the load from braking actions while maintaining the float between the hat and disc. Grade 12 cap screws with spring washers allow for float under braking while maintaining a rattle-free assembly while cold.
• Matching Pad Materials: Girodisc Magic pads are available as direct replacements for the OE pad. The Magic pad produces the same great friction and fade characteristics as the OE pad with minimal dust and noise. Girodisc also stocks Ferodo, Mintex, Pagid and more brake pad sets to match the rotor set. Give us a call for to find out which pads match your needs.
• Girodisc Thermal barrier coated Titanium pad backing plates are available to further block heat transfer to the caliper and fluid for extreme or track use. High performance fluids from Brembo, Motul, and Castrol are also available.
