Restore the braking performance of your C6 Corvette Z06 or Grand Sport with the GiroDisc Front Replacement Rotor Ring Set. Designed specifically for vehicles already equipped with GiroDisc two-piece front brake rotors, these replacement friction rings allow you to refresh the braking surfaces without purchasing complete rotor assemblies.
Manufactured from GiroDisc's proprietary high-carbon cast iron, the replacement rings are engineered to deliver consistent braking performance, excellent thermal stability, and durability during demanding street and track applications.
Unlike conventional one-piece brake rotors, GiroDisc's modular two-piece design allows the iron friction rings to be replaced independently of the aluminum mounting hats. This reduces long-term maintenance costs while retaining the benefits of a fully floating performance brake rotor system.
Each set includes two 355 mm front friction rings and the necessary replacement mounting hardware. Simply reuse your existing GiroDisc aluminum hats, provided they remain in serviceable condition.
For Corvette owners who regularly participate in track days, autocross, or high-performance driving events, GiroDisc replacement rings provide a practical and economical way to maintain their braking system.

Cost-Effective Rotor Maintenance – Replace worn iron friction rings while retaining your existing GiroDisc aluminum hats, reducing long-term brake maintenance costs.
Proprietary High-Carbon Iron Construction – Manufactured using GiroDisc's specialized cast iron material, engineered for consistent braking performance and durability.
Advanced Internal Cooling Design – Curved ventilation vanes promote airflow through the friction rings, helping dissipate heat during repeated heavy braking.
Fully Floating Rotor Compatibility – Designed to retain the thermal expansion characteristics of GiroDisc's two-piece floating rotor system.
Replacement Mounting Hardware Included – Supplied with new attachment hardware for installation onto serviceable GiroDisc rotor hats.
Complete Front Axle Replacement Set – Includes two replacement rings, allowing both front braking surfaces to be serviced together.
The C6 Corvette Z06 and Grand Sport are capable performance platforms, but demanding driving conditions place significant thermal and mechanical loads on the braking system.
For owners already running GiroDisc two-piece front brake rotors, replacing worn friction rings is an important part of maintaining consistent braking performance.
The GiroDisc Front Replacement Rotor Ring Set provides a convenient way to restore the braking surfaces while preserving the existing aluminum hats.
Replace Only What Wears
One of the greatest advantages of a two-piece brake rotor system is its serviceability.
Conventional one-piece rotors require replacement of the entire assembly when the braking surface becomes excessively worn.
With GiroDisc's modular construction, the iron friction rings can be replaced independently of the aluminum hats.
This allows owners to retain serviceable components rather than purchasing entirely new rotor assemblies.
For track-driven Corvettes that experience frequent brake wear, this can result in meaningful long-term savings.
Maintain Consistent Braking Performance
Over time, repeated braking events can wear the rotor surfaces and expose them to significant thermal cycling.
Replacing worn friction rings helps restore the braking surfaces and maintain proper operation of the braking system.
GiroDisc manufactures its friction rings using proprietary high-carbon cast iron engineered for demanding performance applications.
When paired with appropriate brake pads and properly maintained components, these rings provide consistent braking characteristics for street and track use.
Advanced Cooling for Demanding Driving
Effective heat management is essential for maintaining braking performance during repeated high-speed deceleration.
GiroDisc friction rings utilize curved internal ventilation vanes designed to move air through the rotor as it rotates.
This airflow helps dissipate heat generated during braking, supporting more consistent thermal performance during demanding driving conditions.
Retain the Benefits of Fully Floating Rotors
GiroDisc's two-piece rotor assemblies use a floating connection between the iron friction ring and aluminum hat.
This design allows the friction ring to expand as temperatures increase without transferring the same degree of thermal stress to the mounting hat.
The replacement rings are designed to maintain this functionality when installed with the appropriate GiroDisc hardware.
Designed Specifically for GiroDisc Rotor Hats
These replacement rings are engineered for the GiroDisc A1-117 front rotor system.
They are not universal replacement discs and should not be installed on factory rotor hats or other manufacturers' two-piece rotor assemblies.
Using the correct GiroDisc components ensures proper mounting compatibility and preserves the intended rotor design.
Before installing new rings, inspect the existing aluminum hats and associated mounting surfaces to confirm they remain suitable for reuse.
An Excellent Maintenance Solution for Track-Driven Corvettes
For C6 Corvette Z06 and Grand Sport owners who regularly participate in road-course events, brake rotor wear is an expected maintenance consideration.
GiroDisc's replaceable friction ring design simplifies long-term service and allows owners to maintain their existing high-performance braking system without replacing every component.
Maintain the braking performance of your C6 Corvette Z06 or Grand Sport with GiroDisc Front Replacement Rotor Rings—featuring proprietary high-carbon iron construction, advanced cooling, fully floating rotor compatibility, and reusable aluminum hat integration for cost-effective performance brake maintenance.
