Hi Magnus, did you buy them from a shop in Europe? If so, may I ask you where? I’m interested in replacing OEM ones soon and would like to check some options out there. Specially if they are two pieces, and the rings can be replaced so it’s more cost effective long term,I got Girodisc front discs and PFC39 all around. Works very well on track
Magnus sold his car and hasn't posted in a good while, most probably from this local to him reseller
GiroDisc 2-Piece Rotor Assembly A1-268 Vänster + Höger skiva - JRM RAC
The GiroDisc 2-piece rotor system is a direct replacement for the OE rotor, no modifications are necessary. The disc will bolt directly to the car and work with OE calipers perfectly. Once the Girodisc system is in place, simply replace the cast iron rotor ring when needed. The average Girodisc...

I could confirm it with him if you want to be 100% sure

Regarding weight difference to OEM discs.
OEM disc seem to have min thickness of 25mm, whereas lots of aftermarket discs have min thickness of 26mm. Would explain why aftermarkets are lighter.
Wonder what was the min thickness of Endless disc, as it is 34mm by width?

Speaking of thickness, I might be "thick", but I don't follow. Or is there a typo in the above?

OT but has anyone removed dust shields - does it help in temp reduction?
We removed them because our Brake Kit needed the space.
But on a Car that‘s still on the road i wouldn‘t do it.
I forgot.
If you remove the Dust shield, you need a roughly 2-3mm spacer because otherwise the distances around the Upright doesn‘t match anymore.

I have replaced front OEM discs with EBC floating
at 16k miles due to bad wear of outter 1cm (caused by stuck caliper pins)
Drove another 16k miles on EBC, worn to 27.5+mm so plenty of life left
At nearly half the price, for me its a no brainer
They seem to have better initial bite than OEM? (Or just got used to it?)
They are a bit lighter than OEM

Yes, I recently switched to EBC floating discs too.
9.5 kg new vs 9.7 kg for the worn OEM discs which came off which are at about 26.3 mm but I thought I'd change them anyway.
I reckon new OEM discs weigh about 10kg, so only about half a kilo per wheel saved which is less than Endless etc., but at about half the price!
I got the discs and RP-1 pads from EBC for about €775.
With these pads, the initial touch from cold is a little worse but bite is much better once there is even the slightest bit of heat in them.
Given the recent weather conditions I haven't yet been able to give them a proper workout, but based on how they feel now and reports from others who have used them, I expect to be very satisifed.

Yeah, the garage said they "had a bit of life left in them" but the service dude didn't have the actual measurements to hand so I didn't know if that meant 1mm or 0.1mm!I'm gonna wear my OEM's down to 25mm, makes them lighter and keeps my wallet heavy
I could easily have gotten another six months out of them (car is at 33,000 km, 21 months), but have the forum Pyrenees trip in June and would NOT want to attempt that with end-of-life discs!
