GIRODISC A1-288 Front Brake Rotor Kit for VW Golf R (Mk8) / AUDI S3 (8Y)

These two-piece GiroDisc rotors are a direct replacement for the front rotors on the VW Mk8 Golf R and AUDI 8Y S3. The fully floating 2-piece rotors help reduce unsprung and rotational mass on the vehicle's front axle.

The rotor rings are manufactured from GiroDisc's proprietary high-carbon cast iron casting to GiroDisc specifications. This superior manufacturing technology provides better rotor strength, and the 72 curved vanes act as a centrifugal pump, drawing air through the hub to effectively cool the rotors during aggressive use. The two-piece design means a reusable hat that can be attached to new rings when they need to be replaced.

All major components, including the hats, rotor rings, and drive pins, are manufactured in-house in Bellingham, Washington, using high-quality materials. The hat is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with a black anodization. The drive pins are made from a high-strength steel alloy and are cadmium plated for corrosion resistance. All rotors are assembled with spring clips and Belleville washers, providing stability in racing conditions while allowing for quiet street use.

The minimum thickness at which brake rotors are recommended to be replaced is 34mm. It is also recommended to replace them if a crack leads to the edge of the ring.

Sold as a pair.
