Girodisc Rotors?
Has anyone swapped out their rotors with the Girodisc rotors? If so I'd like to hear your thought about:
- Fitment
- Quality
- Durability
- Looks
- Performance
- Any squeezing
I already ordered the ceramic pads & am trying to reduce both brake dust & rust.

I can't speak to Girodisc on the C8, but they are a quality brand with good reputation. I'll personally be going with the drilled, slotted, & coated Powerstop rotors on my Z51 foe the reasons you mentioned.

Never heard of them but I'll look them up. Are they better than the Girodisc's?

We have used them on several C8's so far as well as many other platforms we work on!
They fit great, look great, perform great, and are at a great price point! The ability to just buy replacement rotor rings going forward is a plus too!!
I use giro disc rotors on all of my performance vehicles as well ( C6 Corvette, Mitsubishi Evo)
Leet me know if you have any questions!
Thanks

A ceramic brake design would need to be larger to have the same capacity and performance as the iron brakes.
The Girodisc rotors held up to almost a full season of rentals on The Kaizen car at VIR. We tested/ran several sets of track pads as well.

-OEM (Made by Pagid, solid but hella dusty)
-Ferodo DS2500 - very similar and a popular compound for years for dual use
-Girodisc GP10 - these may lean a bit more to track use.
