Which Cadillac do the GiroDisc Front Rotors for 1st Gen CTS-V fit?

The GiroDisc Front Rotors for 1st Gen CTS-V cars fit the first-generation Cadillac CTS-V sedan. GiroDisc lists them as a direct replacement for the factory front discs on that car only, so owners of the second or third generation CTS-V should not order this part.

Do I need to change the calipers on my CTS-V?

No. GiroDisc states no modifications are necessary. The discs bolt directly to the car and work with the factory calipers, so the brake bias and ABS efficiency are maintained exactly as they were from the factory, with no tuning or adjustment required afterward.

How many drive pins does the CTS-V front rotor use?

Eight high-strength alloy steel drive pins, manufactured by GiroDisc to its own specification and cadmium plated for corrosion resistance. They carry the braking load while allowing axial and radial float, and class 12.9 cap screws with hardened washers hold them in place.

Why choose two-piece rotors over a big brake kit on a CTS-V?

GiroDisc upgrades the brakes with lighter replacement discs instead of new calipers, which keeps the factory brake bias and ABS behavior intact. GiroDisc says the cut in rotational and unsprung weight allows quicker acceleration and suspension response, and running costs stay lower because only rings are replaced later.

What gets replaced as the CTS-V front discs wear?

Only the cast iron rings. The aluminum hats stay on the car, and new rings are fitted once the old ones reach the minimum thickness marked on the hat and ring edge, or if a crack runs from the friction face to the edge.

Description

GiroDisc Front Rotors for 1st Gen Cadillac CTS-V

GiroDisc’s Front Rotors for 1st Gen Cadillac CTS-V sedans replace the factory front discs with a two-piece floating assembly, giving the original V-Series a lighter and more serviceable front brake without a big brake kit. The hat is 6061-T6 aircraft-specification aluminum sourced in the USA; the ring is GiroDisc’s proprietary cast iron, poured in the USA and machined from start to finish in-house. Eight drive pins join the two. A first-generation CTS-V that still sees track days or spirited road use is exactly where this rotor earns its keep.

Bolt-On and Go

No modifications are necessary. The discs bolt directly to the car and work with the factory calipers, so the brake bias and ABS efficiency Cadillac engineered are maintained. Once the system is fitted, only the cast iron ring is replaced as it wears.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
