14 inch rotors

I have a 355 with what I am told is the Grand touris brake upgrade kit, I need to get replacement rotors and the only size sold for the upgrade is 13.1 ,I need 14.

I am also told from who sold me the car they are the original brembo rotors with the Brembo calipers and original Pagid pads.

Any help???

 

If you can provide a part number form the rotor or a sample we can make them for you. Cost should be around 250-275 each.

Hope we can help

I suggest you do follow up with the offer from Martin at Girodisc... their stuff is first rate, and they really know brakes!

 

Do you have pics of the brake system? How many bolts are on the rotor/hat?
The replacements should be an off the shelf item, and probably not hard to find. Might want to change pads too while you're at it.

 

Hello Martin,

can you guys make the rotors for a 360 model ??? At this time i have the OEM rotors on my car.

 

We have rotors for the 360/430, and 360 challenge.

Check out ************ or search the archives here for photos and complimentary feedback from fellow f-chatters with them.

360 rotors are currently $400 a piece for 2-piece full floaters. I have three car sets left in stock, when they are gone the price will have to bump to $425 each. We also stock Porterfield R4-S and Ferodo DS2500 pads for these cars as well. Motul and Castrol fluid as well.

Thanks,

Martin

 

If you have a Brembo Disc or Rotor you can get the part number off the edge of the disc. It should be a 09.xxxx.xx number.

Please let me know what you find.

We have 2-piece drilled or slotted replacement disc assemblies for your stock Ferrari 360 calipers also. These come with the Brembo Floating Hardware and the McLaren 'anti-rattle' springs.

Talk to your Brembo Ferrari supplier like MVP.

Hope that helps.

If you have a part # give us a call like Bob suggested above and I'll see what I can do for you.

 

How do the Girodisc rotors compare to the Brembo alternatives?
The reason I ask is that I have previously replaced my Brembo rotors with a cheaper aftermarket alternative - DBA www.dba.com.au The end result was, even using their best quality product the rotor would last 1 or at best 2 track days, before they cracked so badly the car was dangerous to drive. Whilst I still don't use Brembo rotors, I am spending more than Brembo prices for V8 Supercar spec rotors which, even though are 3 times more expensive than the DBA's last 6 times as long.

 

Stephens,

Agree that 'cheap' rotors seem to follow the 'you get what you pay for.' Chiming in here because i use uprated Brembo front system and Girodisc rear rotors with stock calipers. Both Brembo and Girodisc rotors are alu hat floating/vented with slotted face. Use the car for many track days and the rear Girodisc rotors are holding up the same as the Brembo fronts. Am using VERY aggressive rear pads (Ferodo DS3000, friction coefficient 0.62) versus the much less agressive Brembo FM1000 front pads (friction coefficient 0.45).

Hope this helps. As i recall, you could take it a step further with cryo...

 

Sounds like that would make for some costly track days! Have you looked into getting AP rotors?
They use very high quality metal, with the proper chemical composition for track abuse. They're also heat treated at the factory after all machining is done. Never had a problem with them, even after sustained hard use with little cooling, and aggresuve Ferodo pads.

 

I may be just a dumb ol billybob but in my simplistic understanding of brakes it is all about heat capacity. Heat kills. So....you don't need better rotors as most steel is just steel with nearly insignificant about of trace elements like carbon to alter wear properties. What you really need is better rotor cooling/bigger brake ducts.

 

Rotor metal composition and post treatment make a significant difference. Any rotor will have a thermal limit of course, but lower quality ones will fail with less abuse.

 

When I was back in physics friction was between two surfaces. Therefore, while chagine one surface could surely change grip dynamics i.e. pad choice...likewise a hard rotor = less grip. However, all rotor types respond well to decreasing thermal load via external cooling. Duct it baby.

 

Yes, brakes were costing about $1K per day, the AP's are good though. It isn't reasonable to expect rotors to last long with a 1600kg+ with driver 550hp car on slicks, which is used once a fortnight on average at the track. I've used the AP's, but the Harrops are better for my application.

My point wasn't to ask for a solution, I've already spent plenty of money finding an answer to my braking problems, rather to question the quality of cheap(er) aftermarket rotors.
