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.

Unpacks Nazi rhetoric & makes it relevant to today
Format: Kindle
Ron Chernow’s best book ... unpacks Nazi rhetoric and makes it relevant to today. While I read his other books, honestly this book was far more impactful. I realized how little I knew about specific families and citizens in Germany during the rise of the Third Reich. While the Warburg family was extremely wealthy and atypical, they were very savvy yet still were very aligned to country which caused them to underestimate what was happening in Germany. I love to read about US leaders, but by reading this, realized I need to get out of US history and into global history. Also, while the Warburg brothers were the main focus, I appreciated focus and development of the important woman in the narrative.

Strategic Problem Solving is a powerhouse of a guide for anyone navigating today’s fast-paced, high-stakes business environment—or just dealing with tough challenges in general. Mark Hartley distills years of expertise into an actionable, easy-to-follow framework that makes complex decision-making feel manageable. The seven-step framework is the star of this book, offering a logical, systematic approach to breaking down big problems and creating solutions that stick. Each chapter walks readers through a specific phase of problem-solving, from defining the problem with precision to communicating and implementing solutions with clarity and impact. This isn’t just theory—every concept is illustrated with real-world examples, case studies, and practical tools like flowcharts and work plans. What makes this book stand out is its versatility. It’s perfect for professionals like executives, consultants, and managers, but the ideas can also apply to personal challenges. The tools for critical thinking, prioritization, and creative innovation feel universally relevant. Hartley’s writing is clear and concise, making even complex strategies approachable. One of my favorite aspects is the emphasis on real-world application. For example, the chapter on disaggregating problems compares tackling a challenge to scaling a mountain, encouraging readers to “break the mountain into hills.” It’s practical advice that sticks, and the accompanying tools like mind maps and timelines make it easy to translate into action. This book is more than just a manual for solving business problems—it’s a mindset shift. It helps you think critically, lead confidently, and make smarter decisions. Whether you’re managing a team, driving innovation, or simply trying to up your problem-solving game, this guide will be an invaluable resource. Highly recommended for leaders, thinkers, and anyone striving to navigate complexity with skill and precision!

A very good and helpful book
Format: Kindle
This book provides a well-structured, step-by-step approach to tackling challenges effectively. The book outlines a seven-step process, beginning with defining and identifying the problem, and then walks the reader through practical techniques like mind mapping, prioritization, and overcoming decision paralysis. Further, one of the book’s strengths is its wealth of real-world examples and case studies, which make the concepts tangible. The discussion on managing time in problem-solving, critical thinking, and addressing communication barriers is particularly insightful. Additionally, Heartly introduces useful frameworks such as the "inner matrix" and role mapping, which help in breaking down complex problems into manageable parts. While the content is valuable, the writing can feel a bit wordy, and some sections could flow more smoothly. The references are also quite small (in the ebook), making them a bit difficult to read. However, these are minor drawbacks in an otherwise solid guide. Overall, this book is a great resource for anyone looking to enhance their problem-solving skills, whether in business, leadership, or personal decision-making.This book offers a clear, seven-step approach to tackling challenges.
