Okay, I finally need Rotors and Pads

Where should I order 2 piece rotors and pads for all 4 corners? I have P31 package and want something equal or better in performance. What options have some of you gone with? Thanks guys!

Your best bet would be online OEM part stores or vendors selling good after market products on here.

Girodiscs and Porterfields would be my recommendation. Just did them on my '12 P31 C63 last week.

Pics below of comparison:

Stock Rotor 30.6 Pounds:



GiroDisc Slotted/Drilled Rotor 24 pounds and directionally vented left and right:



Stock Rear 21.2 Pounds:



GiroDisc Rear 14.6 pounds Slotted / Drilled and directionally vented:



End result looks great paired with some new stainless lines and Porterfield R4-S pads:



Absolutely no noise, virtually dust free, great stopping power and an all around performance gain. Not to mention it shaved 26.4 pounds of total rotational mass. Win win everywhere if you're due for new brakes

Whoa, those are quite significant weight reduction. The Porterfields have different (more) hole patterns... And look great!

I hate to tell you this but that rotor is on the wrong side if these are directional left and right.

Porterfield is the name of the manufacturer of the brake pads.

The rotors are Girodisc.

This and that.
Would like a quote on those rotors as well to get an idea and compare to OEM costs. Thanks!

It's even marked left in the pictures.

It's not the slant direction of the slots/holes that's the directional indicator. It's the vane direction.

I have noticed a lot of designs are Uni Directional now. Like the StopTech rotors that are available.

Yeah they are extremely light in comparison to the OEM. Thank you

They are installed correctly... As noted above it's not the direction of the slots or holes, correctly vented rotors are based on the direction of flow through the internal veins. Pic below demonstrating how the airflow veins are internally on these rotors... (I just put a flat head screw driver in the rotor to demonstrate the direction of how the veins direct airflow):

They are the same diameter and thickness as OEM... Just lighter weight, directional and serviceable.

Sure thing, PM Sent

Exactly the same.... Giro Disc manufactured these for Evosport.... Identical to the Evo rotors on my E55 as well I just wish the current Giro rotors had the same darker anodized finish on the hats:

I did not unfortunately but in terms of wear my car had 11,xxx miles and they were not in need of replacement... I couldn't tell you exactly what a factory OEM rotor weighs but it couldn't be much more than what I pulled off the car.

Will this setup work on a 2014 C63 507? If so, I'll take a pm as well for pads and discs! All four corners. Drilled and slotted. Thanks!

I have a 2009 C63 on stock 18" wheels without the performance package (i.e. 1 piece rotors)...will these 2-piece directly replace my 1-piece? Or I need to have the P31 package to install these?

They are fully compatible with your C63 as well

That's a great deal of weight savings over the stock P31 2 piece rotors!

This is an amazing setup for those without the stock 2 piece rotors. I can only imagine how well the car launches with over 5-6LBS of savings per corner.

How did you manage to wear out a set of rotors on a 2014 so soon?
