GiroDisc 2022+ Audi RS3 (8Y) (w/Carbon Ceramic Brakes) Front 2-Piece Iron Conversion Slotted Rotors
The GiroDisc A1-355 Front 2-Piece Iron Conversion Slotted Rotors are engineered as the direct replacement for the 380mm carbon ceramic front rotors on the 2022+ Audi RS3 (8Y). They feature a fully floating 2-piece design with high-carbon iron rings and curved vane cooling that provides superior heat dissipation, reduced unsprung weight, and race-ready performance that outperforms factory carbon ceramics in durability and cost-effectiveness for street and track use.
Precision-machined with bi-directional slotted surfaces to minimize pad glazing and maximize bite, these rotors utilize GiroDisc's proprietary metallurgy for exceptional strength and fade resistance while the reusable 6061-T6 aluminum hats with black anodize finish ensure long-term corrosion protection and easy maintenance.
Designed for bolt-on fitment with factory calipers and pads (iron compound recommended), they maintain OEM bias and ABS efficiency. This offers RS3 owners a reliable upgrade that extends service life and enhances modulation better than sticking with expensive OEM replacements or piecing together individual components from other sources.
Key Features

Brake Rotors
Shop aftermarket brake rotors from EBC Brakes, StopTech, Brembo, DBA, Hawk Performance, Centric, PowerStop, R1 Concepts, Baer, Wilwood, Girodisc, Rotora, and Black Ops Auto Works. Find drilled and slotted rotors, slotted rotors, dimpled rotors, blank OE-replacement rotors, two-piece floating rotors, high-carbon iron rotors, and vehicle-specific rotor packages for street, track, tow, and off-road applications. Match the rotor to the intended use before pairing with a friction level. Shop by vehicle year, make, model, trim, factory brake package, front or rear axle, and rotor style. Aftermarket brake rotors improve heat management, thermal capacity, and stopping consistency over factory rotors. Drilled and slotted rotors vent gas and dust from the pad-to-rotor interface, keeping the friction surface clean under repeated hard stops. Two-piece floating rotors reduce unsprung and rotating weight while allowing better thermal expansion. High-carbon iron rotors resist warping and crack...

GiroDisc
GiroDisc manufactures premium two-piece floating brake rotors designed for performance street and track applications where reduced unsprung weight, superior thermal management, and consistent pedal feel under repeated hard braking are required. The two-piece design separates the cast iron friction ring from the aluminum hat using a patented floater system that allows the rotor to expand thermally without transmitting warping stress to the hub, eliminating the judder and pedal pulsation that single-piece rotors develop after repeated track sessions. GiroDisc rotors are available for a wide range of European and Japanese sports cars including Porsche, BMW M, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and the Subaru WRX, targeting enthusiasts and racers who demand the same engineering quality in their brake hardware as in their suspension and engine components. The significant weight reduction compared to equivalent cast iron rotors improves both acceleration and braking response by reducing the rotational...
