Girodisc 394x36 Front Brake Discs for Chevrolet Camaro Z and 28 (2014) with CCB

The Girodisc A1-172 front brake discs, measuring 394 × 36 mm, improve thermal management during repeated braking on Chevrolet Camaro Z and 28 models equipped with carbon-ceramic rotors (2014). Their cast-iron rotors and aluminum hubs form a floating assembly designed to manage thermal stresses and facilitate rotor replacement due to wear. Sold as a pair, including one left-hand rotor and one right-hand rotor.

These rotors are intended for the front axle of compatible vehicles in the configuration shown below. They retain the calipers from the compatible mounting; any required spacers and brake pad specifications must be followed.

The curved internal cooling fins channel air through the rotor to dissipate heat during repeated braking. The floating mounting minimizes stresses caused by thermal expansion differences between the rotor and the housing and helps the rotor center itself between the brake pads, maintaining consistent contact under heat.

The hub is made of 6061-T6 aluminum. The high-strength steel drive pins are cadmium-plated to resist corrosion. They are secured by Class 12.9 bolts and hardened washers. Spring washers minimize cold-mounting noise while allowing the necessary compression for the floating mount.

New pads must be installed with new rotors or brake pads. Their shape and compound must match the mounting, cast iron, and intended use; follow the specific requirements for this part number and perform the prescribed break-in procedure.

On compatible vehicles originally equipped with carbon-ceramic rotors, this pair provides a conversion solution to high-quality cast-iron rotors. It allows you to remove and store the expensive original carbon-ceramic rotors to preserve them during heavy-duty use, while reusing compatible calipers. Use new brake pads suitable for cast iron and adhere to the pad shapes and any spacers specified by the part number. Replaceable brake pads reduce the cost of replacing braking surfaces in heavy-duty uses and offer a choice of linings to tailor bite and pedal reaction to the intended use.

Girodisc A1-172 Mounting Requirements

• Chevrolet Camaro Z and 28 with carbon-ceramic rotors (2014): Fifth generation with factory carbon-ceramic brakes.
• Chevrolet Camaro Z and 28 with carbon-ceramic rotors (2014): Brake pads with a maximum radial sweep height of 66 mm are required for this track. Shape 1405.

Brake Pads and Braking System for Compatible Vehicles

Choose brake pads whose shape is compatible with the calipers, the track, and/or the A1-172 rotor, and whose compound is suitable for sport driving or track use. The Endless, pagid Racing, or Ferodo Racing ranges may be considered after verifying the appropriate part number.

For intensive use, we recommend compatible aviation-grade hoses and a high-performance brake fluid that meets the vehicle’s specifications, along with proper bleeding and fluid replacement. This recommendation complements a mounting that is compatible with the original hydraulic system.

Maintenance of the Girodisc mounting on compatible vehicles

Replacing the pads alone helps keep the calipers in good condition. Reusing a caliper for up to three pad replacements is subject to inspection of its condition, its mounting components, and the mounting instructions; this number does not constitute a guaranteed service life. Use a new mounting component with each pad replacement.

FAQ — Girodisc A1-172 for Compatible Vehicles

What are the sizes of the A1-172 discs for my vehicle? The part number shown measures 394 × 36 mm and is mounted on the front axle. The diameter alone is not sufficient: also check the brake system type and mounting requirements.

Is the product sold in pairs? Yes. It includes a left and a right disc for the same axle. Both discs come with their disc bells.

Do I need to replace my vehicle’s brake pads?Yes. Always install new brake pads with new rotors or new braking surfaces. Use a compound suitable for cast iron and your intended use. Brake pads with a maximum radial height of 66 mm are required for this braking surface. Shape 1405.

How do I identify the left and right sides? Girodisc rotors come with a label attached to each rotor: LEFT for the left side and RIGHT for the right side, as viewed from the direction of travel. On a left-hand-drive vehicle, “LEFT” corresponds to the driver’s side and “RIGHT” to the passenger side. Follow these labels and the instructions. On models with curved internal fins, the rolling direction depends on this internal ventilation; the surface grooves alone are not sufficient to determine the side.

How do I break in this mounting on my vehicle? Follow the Girodisc procedure and the brake pad manufacturer’s instructions to build up an even transfer ply. The PDF documents below detail installation and break-in.

PDF Documents for Mounting and Break-in

We have included two PDF documents below: an instruction manual for installing and breaking in the discs, and an instruction manual for installing new tracks on existing bowls. Consult the document that applies to your specific task before you begin.
