Upgrade the braking performance, thermal management, and durability of your Porsche with the GiroDisc 350mm Two-Piece Front Brake Rotor Kit. Engineered for select Porsche Carrera, 981, and 718 applications equipped with compatible 330mm factory front iron brakes, this premium braking upgrade increases rotor diameter to 350mm while retaining the original brake calipers.
Unlike conventional replacement rotors that maintain the original brake dimensions, the GiroDisc A1-153 system increases front rotor diameter from 330mm to 350mm. The larger friction ring provides additional braking leverage and increased cooling capacity, making it an attractive upgrade for Porsche owners seeking improved braking performance during spirited street driving and demanding track use.
To accommodate the larger rotors, GiroDisc includes the necessary caliper spacers and mounting bolts. These components reposition the original front calipers to provide clearance for the 350mm discs, allowing the upgraded rotor system to integrate with the existing braking hardware on approved applications.
The GiroDisc system features a two-piece floating rotor design that separates the cast-iron friction ring from the aluminum center hat. This construction allows controlled thermal expansion between the components, helping reduce heat-related stress and supporting consistent braking performance during repeated high-temperature braking events.
The friction rings are manufactured from GiroDisc's proprietary cast-iron formulation, poured in the United States and precision-machined in-house. This material is engineered to withstand the substantial thermal loads generated by aggressive braking while providing a durable friction surface for compatible street and performance brake pads.
To improve cooling efficiency, GiroDisc incorporates directional curved internal cooling vanes. Developed from motorsport applications, these vanes act as a centrifugal pump, drawing air through the rotor and directing it outward. The larger 350mm rotor diameter provides additional capacity for heat dissipation compared with the original 330mm configuration.
The center hats are manufactured from U.S.-sourced 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, combining lightweight construction with the strength required for high-performance braking. By separating the aluminum mounting hat from the iron friction ring, GiroDisc creates a serviceable rotor assembly designed for demanding use.
Each rotor incorporates 10 high-strength alloy-steel floating drive pins, manufactured by GiroDisc in the United States. These pins transfer braking forces between the rotor ring and center hat while allowing controlled axial and radial movement as temperatures change.
The drive pins feature corrosion-resistant cadmium plating and are secured using class 12.9 cap screws and hardened washers. GiroDisc also incorporates anti-noise spring washers to minimize the rattling commonly associated with traditional floating brake rotors.
This floating mounting system allows the friction ring to expand during heavy braking and helps the rotor self-center between the brake pads. The result is a premium braking assembly designed to accommodate repeated temperature changes without compromising the integrity of the rotor-to-hat connection.
Another major advantage is the system's replaceable friction-ring design. Once the initial GiroDisc rotor assemblies are installed, worn iron rings can be replaced while retaining the existing aluminum hats, provided the hats and mounting hardware remain within the manufacturer's service specifications.
For Porsche owners seeking more braking leverage, improved thermal management, and long-term rotor serviceability without purchasing a complete aftermarket big brake kit, the GiroDisc A1-153 provides a practical and performance-focused front brake upgrade.

Oversized 350mm rotor upgrade increases the original 330mm front rotor diameter by 20mm, providing additional braking leverage and cooling capacity.
Included caliper spacers and mounting bolts allow the larger front rotors to integrate with compatible factory Porsche brake calipers without requiring a complete aftermarket big brake kit.
Two-piece floating rotor construction allows controlled thermal expansion between the iron friction rings and aluminum center hats, helping manage heat-related stress during aggressive braking.
Proprietary U.S.-cast iron friction rings with directional cooling vanes combine durable braking surfaces with efficient airflow to support consistent braking performance.
Lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum hats and precision floating hardware use 10 high-strength drive pins per rotor, corrosion-resistant plating, and anti-noise spring washers for reliable operation.
Replaceable friction-ring design allows worn iron rotor rings to be serviced independently of the aluminum hats, helping reduce long-term replacement costs for performance and track-driven vehicles.
