Girodisc Rear Brake Discs 380x34 for McLaren Artura (2021+) - 570S & GT (2015-2021) - 600LT (2018-2021) - 650S (2014-2017) w

Girodisc A2-159 rear brake discs (380 × 34 mm) optimize braking consistency during spirited driving on the McLaren Artura (2021+), McLaren 570S & GT with carbon-ceramic rotors (2015–2021), McLaren 600LT (2018–2021), McLaren 650S (2014–2017), McLaren 675LT (2015–2017), McLaren 720S (2017–2022), McLaren 765LT (2020–2023), McLaren MP4-12C with carbon-ceramic rotors (2011–2014). Their cast-iron tracks and aluminum bowls form a floating assembly designed to handle thermal stresses and facilitate the replacement of tracks under wear. Sold in pairs, with one left rotor and one right rotor.

These rear discs are intended for the rear axle of compatible vehicles in the configuration shown below. They retain the compatible caliper mounting; any required spacers and brake pad specifications must be observed.

The curved internal cooling fins channel air through the rotor to dissipate heat during repeated braking. The floating mounting limits stresses caused by differences in thermal expansion 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 tracks. Their shape and compound must match the mounting, cast iron, and intended use; adhere to the specific requirements of 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 applications and offer a choice of trims to tailor bite and pedal reaction to the intended use.

Brake Pads and Brake Systems for Compatible Vehicles

Choose brake pads whose shape is compatible with the calipers, track, and/or A2-159 rotors, 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 high-performance brake fluid that meets the vehicle’s specifications, along with proper bleeding and fluid replacement. This recommendation complements the mounting, which is compatible with the original hydraulic system.

Maintenance of the Girodisc mounting on compatible vehicles

Replacing the pads alone helps keep the controlled rotors in good condition. Reusing a rotor 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 each time you replace the pads.

FAQ — Girodisc A2-159 for compatible vehicles

What are the sizes of the A2-159 discs for my vehicle? The part number shown measures 380 × 34 mm and is mounted on the rear 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 the brake pads on my vehicle?Yes. Always install new brake pads with new rotors or new braking surfaces. Their shape and compound must be compatible with the A2-159 track and/or rotor and with the calipers. Then break in the rotors and pads according to the prescribed procedures.

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.
