    Looking for a sensible after-market brake disc to put on my 360 (F1, non ceramic), something like the slotted Stoptech discs I put on my 911. Have checked the usual online shops etc but not finding anything. Girodisc is a good option which I am considering, just looking for any other suggestions.

    Thanks --

    I have StopTech rotors, but think the hats are no longer available, only replacement discs. They are floating pin design and lighter than OEM. Unless you’re trying to win a concours with originality, something equivalent to the StopTechs are the way to go.

    Thanks all for suggestions & pics, going to stick with stock for the time being and upgrade to either PFC or Girodisc when I can.

    FWIW, now using Motul 660 fluid and has helped a ton with fade based on a few track outings in last 12-18 mos.

    Happy new year.

    get Brembo OEM rotors, only $100 pere corner.
    as for fluid, get SRF. a little expensive, but you don't need to bleed them as often. Motul 660 is good for track, except they require more bleeding.

    If you get from superperformance in uk, you will get a good price with the exchange rate

    @bellwilliam, thanks for info -- will take a look at SRF for fluid.

    Can you point me to your source for the Brembo discs?

    They are all over UK car parts sites if you search for the Brembo part number, I prefer to use ebay just so I have some stateside recourse in case there are any issues. Price is about the same either way with shipping.

    Be forewarned though...the centers are not painted like the "Ferrari box" versions. Not a big deal, they will just accrue surface rust unless you paint them yourself prior to install.

    Great thread. Love my car but the brakes are just terrible. Any suggestions of what can be done to upgrade these. I don't like the look of slotted but as the op says it's tuff to find.

    Did this improve the braking?

    FYI that there are big-brake kits available for the 360, check TireRack ($4-5k range) and I'm sure others. My relatively uninformed opinion/guess is that without going to a larger front disc (as most performance cars are designed) the gains from mods & upgrades are going to be incremental. So depending on how you are driving your car -- optimize with rotors, pad composition, brake fluid. I found the latter made a big difference for track sessions even before doing anything with rotors or pads. I'm sure others out there have informed opinions as well. Enjoy.

    Thank you. I'm just city driving and canyon carving. No track but I can feel the brake fade and that the brakes are just not the best. Was hoping a set of floating disc, new pads, stainless steel lines might help. Love big brake kits but then need to upgrade the wheels to 19 I believe.

    You should not be experiencing fade in that kind of driving. I have done many track days with OEM brakes and they work fine. Have you done all of the usual things, like change to fresh, high boiling point fluid and bleeding the lines? What pads are you using?

    Thank you for note, yes I change the fluid every year along with the oil change. The pads I am not sure as they came with the car when I bought it two years ago.

    What do you recommend? Go with oem pads and a better fluid? Add the ss lines?

    My experience is that oem pads are more than sufficient for light-med track usage (HPDE lapping). I could get ABS activation running Hoosier slicks all day long. I now use StopTech 309.10530 pads just because they are about half the price of OEM (Brembo), and no change in performance.

    Can you tell me more about the stoptech? More dust, noisy? Same bite as stock?

    No noise, a little less dust, and no discernible change in bite from stock. This is with stock rotors.

    IMO, stock pads are okay for tracks without heavy braking. but will fail miserably on track that requires deep braking.

    FYI, bigger rotors and track pads with fades after repeated braking. But it has nothing to do with braking distance if they are not faded.
    Tires are what stop the car (in distance). Get good tires, any of super 200tw tires will work for both street and HPDE.

    Try Motul 600 or 660 and StopTech Sport pads. The pads have good cold bite and don’t fade in even light track use. At least for me. I also have SS lines, but the brakes were fine before them. The SS lines will improve feel, though.

    That’s my experience with them, too. Note I said light track in my other post. If your track has really long straights with tight turns at the ends, you will need bigger brakes to absorb the higher heat. But that means bigger wheels, etc. Fortunately for me, the tracks nearest me are technical tracks with mostly shorter straights.
