Girodisc 325x20 Rear Brake Discs for Porsche Cayman (987.2 and 981) - Boxster (2012-2016)

Girodisc A2-035 rear brake discs (325 × 20 mm) optimize braking consistency during spirited driving on the Porsche Cayman (987.2) (2005–2013), Porsche Cayman (981) and Boxster (2012–2016), Porsche Cayman (981) and Boxster S and GTS (2012–2016), Porsche 718 (982) Cayman and Boxster (2016+), and Porsche 718 (982) Cayman and Boxster S and GTS (2016+). Their cast iron tracks and aluminum cups form a floating assembly designed to handle thermal stresses and facilitate replacement of tracks under wear. Sold in pairs, with one left and one right disc.

These rear discs are intended for the rear axle of compatible vehicles in the configuration listed below. They retain the compatible caliper 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 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 discs or tracks. Their shape and compound must be compatible with the mounting, the cast iron, and the intended use; comply with the specific requirements for this part number and perform the prescribed break-in procedure.

Brake Pads and Brake Systems for Compatible Vehicles

Choose brake pads whose shape is compatible with the calipers, track, and/or A2-035 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 mounting 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 each time you replace the pads.

FAQ — Girodisc A2-035 for compatible vehicles

What are the sizes of the A2-035 discs for my vehicle? The part number shown measures 325 × 20 mm and is mounted on the rear axle. The diameter alone is not sufficient: also check the brake system version 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. Use a compound suitable for cast iron and your use. Perform mounting using the supplied caliper spacers.

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 in 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.
