The limiting factor was tire grip Oregon Raceway Park (ORP), clockwise one day and counter clockwise the next, is hard on the brakes, tires and suspension with the hardest braking zones being downhill and the brakes did not complain both days. GiroDisc is definitely doing its thing and the HPA rear BBK is doing its part.

Pros: brakes did not complain

I am happy to report that I experienced no fade and the brakes were consistent and solid the entire time. I believe the GiroDisc rotors are doing a fine job at evacuating heat and in combination with the HPA rear BBK, the car stopped strong and flat. I am a happy camper.

Pros: no fade, consistent brakes

End of the day, and these are the best performing brakes I've ever had equipped on the car. They felt exactly the same on the last hot lap as they did on the first. I also ran titanium backing plates, and had zero fade issues all day. If they hold up over time, I highly recommend these over the OEM rotors if you track your car.

Pros: best performing brakes, zero fade

For any of you that have upgraded to TT RS front brakes and track your car, you might have learned that the OEM rotors just aren't up to track duty if you push your car. I was warping the stock rotors from heat during track days. So I went in search of a two-piece rotor and initially found two options, both of which came in at well over $1,200. My timing was good however, as I stumbled upon a thread in the TT RS forum about an owner that had just fitted his car with a prototype from Giro Disc. I'd never heard of Giro Disc before, but some research gave me comfort they were producing a quality product. I reached out to Mike at Giro Disc (who couldn't be more helpful) and they had a few more sets available, so I was fortunate enough to get my hands on one of them. And just in time, as my next track day is in two days. I just installed them, and as you would expect, they are a direct fit. I'll post performance impressions after my track day, but in advance of that, here are my initial thoughts: - OEM rotors weighed in at 26.6 lbs and the Giro Disc are 19.8 - There is significantly more spacing, which will hopefully move more air and allow for better cooling.

Pros: direct fit, better cooling

I already have the ATE Premium One rotors and Hawk pads on my 1982 Caddy. They don't have the initial bite but are good once they heat up, but still require adequate pedal pressure to ensure an emergency stop. The ATE Premium One rotors are great especially in the rain because they absolutely have that initial bite.

Pros: great in the rain
Cons: require adequate pedal pressure

Hawk HPS with the rear pads almost worn & the front pads were about 70% worn---new rotors all around. Just for kicks, I decided to get ATE Slotted rotors, tyrol caliper bushings & a fresh fluid flush....

Pros: new rotors all around

I am getting ready to do my brakes, rotors and pads. Mintex Red on all 4 corners and ATE slotted up front and OEM on the rear. Car shakes pretty badly when applying the brakes at 65 mph or higher...warped.

Cons: car shakes badly
