Girodisc 2-Piece Front Rotors for Audi TTRS 8S (2016-2022) - A1-179

If you're looking to upgrade your Audi TT RS 8S's braking performance without going overboard with a big brake kit, the Girodisc system is where it's at. This isn't just some generic replacement; it's designed to fit right onto your ride without any hassle. You won’t need to mess around with modifications’just bolt these bad boys on, and you're good to go. They work seamlessly with your OE calipers, keeping everything balanced and efficient, including that all-important ABS.

One of the standout features of these front rotors is their weight. We're talking about a solid drop from the stock units’22.0 lbs compared to 27.4 lbs. That difference in rotational and unsprung weight isn't just numbers on a spec sheet; it translates to quicker acceleration and a more responsive suspension. You can really feel the difference when you hit the gas.

The craftsmanship here is top-notch, too. The central hat section is made from U.S.-sourced 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, which is both lightweight and incredibly strong. The rotor itself is cast iron, poured and machined right here in the USA. It features a curved vane design that’s been honed in racing environments to act like a centrifugal pump, effectively pushing cooling air through the disc. This means better heat management during those spirited drives or track days.

Now, let’s talk about the floating mount system. It uses 10 high-strength alloy steel drive pins, all made in the USA to Girodisc's specifications and cadmium plated for long-lasting corrosion resistance. These pins handle the load during braking while allowing for axial and radial float between the hat and disc. Plus, they’re secured with grade 12 cap screws and hardened washers, so you know they’re built to last. To keep things quiet when the rotors are cold, we’ve added anti-noise spring washers on the rotor side, which let the rotor expand with heat but prevent that annoying rattle you sometimes get with floating rotors. This design also helps the rotor self-center between the pads, making for a smoother ride.
