Welcome to GiroDisc!

Brake rotors have long been the overlooked link in performance car braking systems. Traditional 1-piece brake rotors are heavy and retain heat, diminishing their effectiveness and adding unsprung weight that adversely affects handling.

When GiroDisc was founded in 2003, we made it our mission to design and manufacture 2-piece brake rotors that would perform flawlessly at the limits. Our fully-floating design uses tension hardware to ensure that our rotors are silent on the street, but ready to go on the track.

By specializing in this area, we can dedicate our efforts to push our engineering and manufacturing to the highest levels in the industry. Customers around the world have found success maximizing the capabilities of their existing brake systems by installing GiroDisc rotors. This often negates the need for a pricier, more complex upgrade like a big brake kit.

GiroDisc is headquartered in Bellingham, Washington, where we design, engineer, manufacture and fulfill orders on site.


The primary purpose of the Girodisc system is to reduce unsprung and overall vehicle weight. The secondary purpose is to increase the ventilation and cooling capacity of the brake disc while retaining it's original dimensions. This is accomplished by using two-piece disc construction. The central hat section of the disc is made from 6061-T6 aircraft specification aluminum.

The disc is made from cast iron, to the same specification and material as used by professional racing organizations. It is a curved vane design, developed in racing to act as a centrifugal pump to force cooling air through the disc. The rotor and hat have a floating mount system, which utilizes high strength alloy steel drive pins, manufactured by Girodisc to our own specifications and cadmium plated for a long lasting corrosion resistance. These pins take the load from braking actions while maintaining the axial and radial float between the hat and disc. The pins are secured by grade 12 cap screws with hardened washers. In order to keep the rotors from making noise when cold, the pins are mounted with anti-noise spring clips on the rotor side which allow the rotor to grow with heat expansion but eliminate the rattle and noise associated with floating rotors. This float also allows the rotor
to self center between the pads.


Important Questions Answered

Q: What is required to install the Girodisc system?

A: The Girodisc system is a direct replacement for the OE disc.
No modifications are necessary. The disc will bolt directly to the car and work with OE calipers and pads perfectly. Once the Girodisc system is in place, simply replace the cast iron rotor when needed. Some discs are larger in diameter and come with caliper spacers. If longer bolts are required, they are also supplied.

Q: How does reducing weight of the braking system benefit the vehicle?
A: The Girodisc will generally weigh between 4 8 lbs less than the oe disc it will replace. This is due to the heavy cast iron hat section being replaced with lightweight, high strength aluminum. The mass of any vehicle requires energy to accelerate or decelerate. Reducing the vehicle mass improves acceleration, and requires less energy to be dissipated during deceleration. Rotating mass requires additional energy in order to increase or decrease its speed of rotation. Decreasing the mass of the disc has a great benefit due to reduction in rotational inertia. This will allow more of the braking force to be available to decelerate the vehicle, not the disc.
Additionally, the mass of the brake system is also unsprung mass. Reducing the unsprung mass has the additional benefit of improved suspension performance, resulting in enhanced ride and handling. Rotating masses require additional energy to vary the plane on which they turn. The lighter the disc, the quicker the response of the vehicle steering due to the reduction in gyroscopic effect/rotational inertia of the disc. As an example, compare the weight of the Ferrari 360 OE disc at 18.2 lbs, and the Girodisc at 14 lbs. The Girodisc is 4.2 lbs lighter per disc. Replacing all four discs will save 16.8 lbs of rotating, unsprung mass.

Q: Why slotted discs?
A: The edges of the slots continuously clean and refresh the pad surface. This will allow the pads to have a maximized friction surface always available. Additionally, they prevent containments from collecting between the pad and disc interface.
The disc is lightened, decreasing its rotational inertia.
Slots prevent the formation of a water film on the disc in wet weather, maintaining the best brake response.

Petite person's perspective
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
Full name on the box: Light Grey Bonded Leather/Mesh Air Executive Chair (Model: 43807) This review is from a petite female’s perspective I was browsing for couple months and this Serta chair stood out to me, mainly aesthetically. I don’t see many chairs in this color or style. It matched with the rest of my PC/desk setup. Positives -Seat is comfortable. -Lumbar support is good. It helps me sit very straight. -The casters were surprisingly easy to put in. I had to use some force with two of them though. They roll fine on carpet. -Easy assembly Neutral/Negatives -Paint of armrests is easily scratched. I accidentally scratched it while installing the back. -The black plastic caps used to hide the screws don’t fit well. The plastic inserts for hiding screws in arms don’t fit well either. It makes the chair appear cheap. (I will provide images) -Craftsmanship isn’t the best. Not noticeable from a distance though. -At lowest setting, my feet can’t touch the ground but being 4’11” it’s to be expected. -Height of the back is too high for my liking. I prefer a few inches shorter so I can tilt my head back to rest my neck. My fault for not realizing I should look into "mid-back chairs". -Head/top area is too firm. I prefer it to be squishy (e.g. Serta Smart Layers Verona or Siena). As another reviewer mentioned, don’t forget to remove the foam or cardboard behind the lumbar and head/shoulder. That is supposedly the last step when assembly is all done. **If you come across any issues/warranty, you contact TRUE INNOVATIONS, not Serta. (I will provide images)

***Serta should recall this chair!
Color: Grey
Serta quality and comfortable for office use only, casual home use isn't the same... the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars for ergonomics is that if you are not sitting upright in "office mode" and you want to slouch and relax, the seat makes you feel like you are always sliding forward in the chair? I assume that is because it's an "ergonomic" chair, but it is well built and worth the price in my opinion. ***Updated addition; after using the chair to work from home & casual use, it is still annoying to feel like it tilts forward unless you are sitting up perfectly straight! I have also noticed that if you get up or reposition yourself (due to the forward sliding) the seat height resets itself back up to the top!? So when you sit back down you have to lower the seat again... my last Serta chair never had these issues!! For the price point, this shouldn't be a chair I will be replacing after a few months - but not with another Serta! ****Second update = now 1 star! (Chair still looks new, I only work from home 1 day a week, and take great care of my things so there is no damage or even usage wear) After trying to make the best of this chair, it is even more annoying to use.. it now "groans" when any movement rocking back or forth... it still feels like it is forcing you to slide forward and feels like the chair wants your to fall out! Leaning back doesn't stay (no adjustment to keep from "leaning forward") so no matter what I do, I hate sitting in this chair more every day... and now I am very worried about buying another chair blind online! ***Serta should recall this chair! *****Third update = Chair still looks and feels brand new, but now randomly will make weird creaking and groaning noises with every movement and as an added bonus it randomly just sinks to the lowest level without warning!!! Typing away and it just starts sinking until it hits bottom! I don't know how an expensive chair could be so awful!!

Good chair, Hensley is more comfortable
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
Received chair in a large box and assembly was easy. Instructions call for 2-person assembly but I set out to do as much as I could by myself until someone else was available. No tools needed other than the Allen wrench provided. I assembled the chair in under an hour by myself. The 2 person portion of the assembly was for attaching the seat to the wheel assembly but I managed to attach it myself with some careful maneuvering. The chair is nice and comfortable enough, but I was spoiled by the comfort of trying a different Serta model (Hensley, now discontinued) ina store. I couldn't find that model anywhere else and the floor model was SOOOO comfortable with its Serta Smart Layers. I was hoping Bryce would be a close second. After trying Bryce for a few days, I'd say its a distant third. If I never met Hensley, Bryce might have a higher rating. Update: based on other reviews, I made covers for the armrests to prevent wear and peeling of the padding cover.
