Upgrade the braking performance, thermal management, and durability of your Porsche 992 GT3 or 718 Cayman GT4 RS with the GiroDisc Two-Piece Rear Brake Rotor Set. Engineered for Porsche's high-performance GT platform, these premium brake rotors combine proprietary high-performance cast-iron friction rings with lightweight aluminum center hats to provide consistent braking performance during spirited driving and demanding track use.
The GiroDisc system is designed as a direct replacement for the original rear iron brake rotors, allowing owners to upgrade their braking components without replacing the factory calipers or modifying the original brake system. The result is a premium braking solution that preserves Porsche's original brake architecture while incorporating motorsport-inspired engineering.
Unlike conventional fixed brake rotors, the GiroDisc two-piece floating design separates the friction ring from the center mounting hat. This allows controlled movement between the components as braking temperatures increase, helping accommodate thermal expansion and reduce unnecessary stress during repeated high-temperature braking events.
The friction rings are manufactured using GiroDisc's proprietary cast-iron formulation, poured in the United States and precision-machined in-house. This construction provides a durable braking surface designed to withstand the elevated temperatures and repeated braking loads associated with performance driving.
To improve cooling efficiency, GiroDisc incorporates directional curved internal cooling vanes. Developed from motorsport applications, these vanes function as a centrifugal pump, moving cooling air through the center of the rotor and outward through the friction ring. Improved airflow supports more effective heat dissipation and helps maintain consistent braking characteristics under demanding conditions.
The center hats are manufactured from U.S.-sourced 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, offering a lightweight and durable mounting structure. This two-piece construction uses aluminum in place of iron for the center section, reducing unnecessary material mass while maintaining the strength required for high-performance braking.
A defining feature of the GiroDisc design is its fully floating mounting system, which uses 12 high-strength alloy-steel drive pins per rotor. These pins transfer braking forces between the friction ring and aluminum hat while permitting controlled axial and radial movement as temperatures change.
The drive pins are manufactured by GiroDisc in the United States and feature cadmium plating for corrosion resistance. They are secured using class 12.9 cap screws and hardened washers, providing a robust connection engineered for demanding braking applications.
To minimize the noise often associated with floating brake rotors, GiroDisc incorporates anti-noise spring washers on the rotor side of the mounting system. These components allow the rotor ring to expand as temperatures increase while helping prevent unwanted rattling when the brakes are cold.
The floating design also allows the rotor ring to self-center between the brake pads, promoting consistent contact and predictable braking behavior. The system works with the original Porsche rear brake calipers and unmodified factory brake pads on approved applications.
One of the most significant long-term advantages is the replaceable friction-ring design. Once the complete GiroDisc rotor assemblies are installed, worn friction rings can be replaced without purchasing new aluminum hats, provided the existing hats remain serviceable. This makes the system especially attractive for GT3 and GT4 RS owners who regularly participate in track events.
Designed and manufactured in Bellingham, Washington, GiroDisc brake rotors combine precision machining, premium materials, and proven floating-rotor technology to deliver a durable and serviceable braking upgrade.
For Porsche 992 GT3 and 718 GT4 RS owners seeking improved rotor construction, effective thermal management, and long-term serviceability while retaining factory brake components, the GiroDisc A2-272 Rear Rotor Set is an excellent upgrade for both performance street driving and track use.

Two-piece floating rotor construction allows the cast-iron friction rings to expand independently of the aluminum center hats, helping manage thermal stress during aggressive braking.
Proprietary U.S.-cast iron friction rings provide durable braking surfaces designed for repeated high-temperature use on performance street and track-driven Porsche GT vehicles.
Directional curved internal cooling vanes improve airflow through the rotor, supporting efficient heat dissipation and consistent braking performance.
Lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum center hats provide a durable mounting structure while reducing unnecessary material mass compared with traditional all-iron rotor designs.
12-pin floating hardware with anti-noise spring washers accommodates axial and radial movement, promotes rotor self-centering, and helps minimize unwanted cold-brake rattling.
Direct factory brake integration and replaceable friction rings retain the original Porsche calipers and pads while allowing future rotor-ring replacement without purchasing complete new assemblies.
