Martin@Girodisc Rocks

THis review is long overdue. In JulyAugust, i took a road trip to CA to get some things done to my car and attend a track day at willow. I contacted Martin 2 days before the track day to see if i could get some Porterfield R4 and R4S, Motul, and his Ti Heatshield. I called him up on his cell and he immeidatly gave me a pricing on all the eqipment but told me he didn't have any of it in stock. He told me that he could go to Porterfield right that second and grab everything and meet up with me so i could prep for the track day. In a matter of 2 hours from the cell phone call, i was face to face with Martin and he had everything. To add to the convience, he even set up a meeting place 5 min for the place i was staying at. A++++ Customer service . He will go out of his way to make sure you have everything you need. I deff. will be buying a set of rotors next with teh new Porterfield R-11 Compounds.

Thanks Martin
Hugh (The asian kid)

I agree. Big thumbs up to Martin at Girodisc
I bought some Girodisc 2-piece rotors and they needed new hardware. He was quick to help and send out the necessary hardware quickly. He promptly answered all my emails and was willing to give info and answer any questions I had.

I'd love to purchase a set of Girodiscs, just wish they were a little cheaper.

You can contact us directly at 949-350-6194 or via email at martin@girodisc.com.

NJ Drive, why don't you try calling Mike at Innovative Tuning in NY. He's the closest dealer we have to you. He might be willing to work something out, especially if you are interested in pads, lines, install etc.

Thanks guys,

Martin

I'm running a set of girodisc's, and Martin was very helpful in diagnosing a braking issue I was working through even though the root cause wasn't the discs.

Thanks Martin, will do!

If it's any consolation, they'd be the very first modification towards prepping my new car for autocross this season.

+1 on "Martin Rocks" he saved our collective AMS butts with an 11th hour solution at the Redline TA. We had serious brake issues and Martin, with zero hesitation, stepped in and fixed it. Next thing you know we win our class and second overall and I'm braking sooo much deeper than before

Thanks Martin,
Paul
