Selling a used set of Giro rotors from my Evo 9. $1600 setup, fronts mic out at 31.11 and 31.67. New is 32mm, worn out is 30mm. So there is still ~60% left in the fronts, the rears I didn't measure but show virtually no wear (evo's are much harder on fronts). I only used them for track days, they have 5-6 days in them. Really nice setup, a proper floating disc, rebuildable aluminum hat and much better vane design (venting) than oem. Save 4lbs front and 2.5lbs rear per corner. The rotor rings are avilabale from giro for $500 each, you can replace both rotors and still be at a huge savings over new. Looking for $600 including shipping.

Info here: https://www.girodisc.com/Girodisc-2-...89_p_5515.html

Comments on the surface "cracking": It's not actually "cracks" it's called "crazing" which is a normal wear pattern for a rotor used in racing / track conditions. Links below explaining this. At street temps the rotors never get anywhere near their thermal threshold and they grind down before they heat cycle out. The wear indicator is actually the groove - when that's gone it's time to replace them. I ran them with st43 pads - my personal fave - excellent hpde / endurance pad and pretty easy on rotors. Also used them on my lemons e30 for years.

" These are tiny hairline cracks that are extremely small and not of real concern" - https://ebcbrakes.com/articles/surfa...n-brake-discs/

"The rotors with surface cracks are usually continuously serviceable as long as they are within minimum thickness, and the cracks are not expanding to catch your fingernail." - http://www.racingbrake.com/v/main/surface_cracks.asp

Friction rings turned out to.be garbage. Overpaid. That's the risk we take buying online.

Girodisc's website. Cracks big enough to catch your fingernail = can't use. By the time I buy new friction rings, I coulda bought new.
We roll the dice buying used parts online.

i spoke to them, sent photos. they said were fine to use until you bottom out the wear grooves. quit *****ing and run them. you got a great deal.

new rings are 500. you paid 600. thats 1100. new are 1600. math is hard.

further.. you bought used brakes. i described and photographed them and was 100% transparent about what they were and the condition they were in. you still have 50-60% wear on the front rotors before you have to buy rings and you STILL save 30%.

im sorry you feel they were below your expectation but i resent your ‘they were garbage’ comment. they were exactly as decribed. you bought used brakes you got used brakes. if you want new, get off your wallet and buy new.

Sure. Let me risk my car and life because you are offended.

It's not like I'm asking for my money back. It's also not like I'm saying anything about you personally. I'm saying the rings are junk. Obviously ,I wouldn't have paid $600 had I known ,but that's the risk we take buying online. It is what it is.

Each rotor
​​​​​​has two or three of the larger cracks, on each side. From their website:
"The rotors with surface cracks are usually continuously serviceable as long as they are within minimum thickness, and the cracks are not expanding to catch your fingernail."
