GiroDisc 2022+ Audi RS3 (8Y) (w/Carbon Ceramic Brakes) Front 2-Piece Iron Conversion Slotted Rotors
The GiroDisc A1-355 Front 2-Piece Iron Conversion Slotted Rotors are engineered as the direct replacement for the 380mm carbon ceramic front rotors on the 2022+ Audi RS3 (8Y). They feature a fully floating 2-piece design with high-carbon iron rings and curved vane cooling that provides superior heat dissipation, reduced unsprung weight, and race-ready performance that outperforms factory carbon ceramics in durability and cost-effectiveness for street and track use.
Precision-machined with bi-directional slotted surfaces to minimize pad glazing and maximize bite, these rotors utilize GiroDisc's proprietary metallurgy for exceptional strength and fade resistance while the reusable 6061-T6 aluminum hats with black anodize finish ensure long-term corrosion protection and easy maintenance.
Designed for bolt-on fitment with factory calipers and pads (iron compound recommended), they maintain OEM bias and ABS efficiency. This offers RS3 owners a reliable upgrade that extends service life and enhances modulation better than sticking with expensive OEM replacements or piecing together individual components from other sources.

Brake Rotors
Brake rotors work with brake pads to bring your vehicle to a controlled stop. Upgrading from worn or stock rotors to a performance or OE-quality replacement improves braking consistency, reduces fade, and restores the original factory feel. Popular ProductsPopular brake rotor choices include EBC Brakes USR slotted rotors, Brembo OE-replacement rotors, StopTech Sport cross-drilled and slotted rotors, and Centric Premium rotors for OE-quality service replacement. What is the difference between slotted, drilled, and blank rotors?Blank rotors are standard OE-style with no machining, suitable for daily drivers. Slotted rotors have channels cut into the face for debris evacuation and improved high-heat performance. Cross-drilled and slotted rotors combine both features but may crack under extreme track use. How do I know when brake rotors need replacement?Replace rotors when rotor thickness falls below the minimum spec stamped on the rotor hat, when lateral runout exceeds 0.003 inches, or...

GiroDisc
GiroDisc manufactures premium two-piece floating brake rotors designed for performance street and track applications where reduced unsprung weight, superior thermal management, and consistent pedal feel under repeated hard braking are required. The two-piece design separates the cast iron friction ring from the aluminum hat using a patented floater system that allows the rotor to expand thermally without transmitting warping stress to the hub, eliminating the judder and pedal pulsation that single-piece rotors develop after repeated track sessions. GiroDisc rotors are available for a wide range of European and Japanese sports cars including Porsche, BMW M, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and the Subaru WRX, targeting enthusiasts and racers who demand the same engineering quality in their brake hardware as in their suspension and engine components. The significant weight reduction compared to equivalent cast iron rotors improves both acceleration and braking response by reducing the rotational...
