GiroDisk vs AP Essex

I can't speak to the new J hook rotor, but I would still use the Giro after seeing the M4 GT4s running that rotor
Just from a perspective of longevity

Are the Girodisc friction rings compatible with the AP hats included with the 9668 kit? I will also email them.

Right now one car is on 11/11 and the other is 332/331. I never confuse which car I'm in haha

Hey SYT_Shadow

Does the 332/331 combo offer more braking power? Or do you still prefer the PFC11?

I am trying to see if there is something that will brake harder than PFC11s.

It offers more durability. The pfc11 is really nice because it's almost quiet on the street, but the 331/332 lasts longer.

The 333 has more bite, try that. Personally I really like the modulation overall in a pad vs more friction and less modulation.

Regarding brake pads, take a look at Cobalt Friction. I have run their pads on my E30 M3 as well as my NSX (both on the track) and had great results. Their pads are manufactured on demand so there is usually a 5 to 7 day wait for production. Pricing is very reasonable when compared to Hawk, Ferodo, PFC, etc. especially when looking at BBK fitment.

I've run the XR2 (front) and XR3 (rear). Great initial bite / modulation / release, fairly linear as heat rises, and for those of you who don't swap pads between track and street, very quiet with limited squeal. Take a look
