Brake Rotor options for Black Series?
I also know one of the members on here recently did the ceramics, but I'm looking for more of just a direct rotor replacement for the stocks, whether just the rings that would work with the oem hats, or 2 piece rotors. Does anyone know of any options out there for the c63 Black?
Price also is very reasonable at $1750 for the pair.
Designed as a direct brake rotor replacement for the OE 390mm 2-piece front brake rotors (no modifications are necessary), and work with the factory AMG brake calipers. The GiroDisc rotors offer a significant improvement in cooling and brake performance over factory brake rotors- over 50% more air for improved cooling and reduced brake fade on street or track. In addition, not only will the upgraded "floating" rotor design help mitigate brake fade, but they are lighter than stock and reduce unsprung weight on the front axle. This means better acceleration, braking and cornering.
To minimize casting requirements, the stock OE rotors are designed to be used on either Left or Right side (single part number) utilizing an inferior pillard vent design. This does not allow for the most efficient flow of air. The GiroDisc rotors have a specific Left and Right application to allow correct and proper venting and the most efficient channeling of air.
The GiroDisc rotors provide a much great ROI and lower cost of ownership by allowing you to replace just the outer ring of your rotor during brake replacement (few hundred dollars). The stock OE rotors require you purchase the entire rotor assembly, and often times they can only be purchased in pairs (several thousands of dollars).
The hats on the GiroDisc rotors are made of lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum. Engineered directional vents on each hat dramatically optimizes cooling and further improves airflow.
Drive pin washers made of strong Inconel (used in military, aircraft engines and racing applications) are practically impervious to oxidation or corrosion. Curved design on the drive pin washer add additional tension to the assembly thus reducing rattle.
Rotors are 100% made in the USA.
Benefits:
- Direct bolt-on design requires no modification
- Works with OE AMG calipers
- Lightweight design (10-lbs unsprung weight savings over stock on front axle)
- 7075 aluminum hat, hard anodized
- Directional vents on hats further improve cooling and airflow
- Inconel drive pin washers
- Better value and cost of ownership over OE
- Unique Left/Right application for proper venting/airflow (unlike OE)
- Replaceable discs and hardware
- Better heat dissipation and less brake fade
- Improved acceleration, braking and cornering with less unsprung weight!

My biggest surprise was the handling of the car it gave me a feeling of better agility/"precision" since your are taking over 25 pounds of rotational mass off the front alone.
Go for it ! ACG are also great to deal with i bought my forgestar cf10's thru them and didnt run into any of the forgestar waiting nightmare. Seamless
Also Girodisc used to make the rotors for evosport

If you have any question as to the ferocity of the braking ability of these rotors... just watch my YouTube video from Daytona where my repeated brake application using the Girodisc supplied Street/Track pads gave us massive braking capability and still lasted thousands of miles of street use.
If you could ever need anything more aggressive then use the Girodisc Rotors and the Hawk 63 pads.
