What does the GiroDisc Z/28 Front Iron Rotor Conversion replace?

The GiroDisc Z/28 Front Iron Rotor Conversion replaces the factory carbon-ceramic front discs on the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 with two-piece iron rotors. Each rotor uses a slotted cast iron ring floating on a 6061-T6 aluminum hat, joined by twelve alloy steel drive pins.

Why is the swept area narrower than the factory ceramic disc?

GiroDisc explains that an iron rotor with the same swept area as the factory carbon-ceramic disc would be unnecessarily heavy. Narrowing it keeps the weight of the iron rotor at a reasonable level, which keeps unsprung and rotating mass in check on the Z/28.

Is anything else needed to complete the conversion?

Yes. GiroDisc attaches a specific requirement to this conversion because of the narrower swept area, so the rotors alone are not the whole job. Contact Bulletproof Automotive before ordering and we will confirm exactly what the car needs alongside the rotors.

Why convert a Z/28 from ceramic to iron?

Iron rotors on reusable aluminum hats suit owners who track the car often, because worn rings are renewed without replacing the whole assembly. The two-piece floating design adds curved cooling vanes developed in racing and a slotted face that sheds water.

How many drive pins does each front rotor use?

Twelve. GiroDisc mounts each ring to its hat with twelve high-strength alloy steel drive pins, made in the USA and cadmium plated, secured by class 12.9 cap screws and hardened washers. Anti-noise spring washers let the ring grow with heat without rattling when cold.

GiroDisc Z/28 Front Iron Rotor Conversion for 5th Gen Chevrolet Camaro

GiroDisc’s Z/28 Front Iron Rotor Conversion for the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro replaces the factory carbon-ceramic front discs with two-piece iron rotors: a slotted ring of GiroDisc’s US-poured iron floating on a 6061-T6 aluminum hat. GiroDisc kept the swept area narrower than the ceramic disc to hold the weight down, instead of building an unnecessarily heavy copy of the original. For a Z/28 that lives on track, it swaps an expensive consumable for iron rings that are renewed on reusable hats.

Fitment and Installation

GiroDisc describes the rotor as a direct replacement for the factory disc on the Z/28, but the conversion comes with a specific requirement linked to the narrower swept area, so contact Bulletproof Automotive before ordering and we will confirm the full parts list. Twelve cadmium-plated alloy steel drive pins carry each ring, with anti-noise spring washers to stop cold rattle.

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.
