## Description

The Girodisc A1-261 front brake discs, measuring 390 × 34 mm, optimize consistent braking performance during spirited driving in Ferrari California models (2008–2017). 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 and one right-hand rotor.
These discs are intended for the front axle of compatible vehicles in the configuration shown below. They retain the compatible mounting calipers; any required spacers and brake pad specifications must be followed.
The curved internal cooling fins channel air through the disc to dissipate heat during repeated braking. The floating mounting minimizes stresses caused by thermal expansion differences between the pad and the housing and helps the pad center itself between the brake pads, maintaining consistent contact even when hot.
The hub is made of 6061-T6 aluminum. 
New brake pads must be installed with new rotors or brake discs. Their shape and compound must match the mounting, casting, and intended use; follow the specific requirements for this part number and perform the prescribed break-in procedure.

Each application is subject to its specific brake system configuration, calipers, and any requirements for brake pads or spacers. Please verify these conditions before ordering.
Brake pads and braking systems for compatible vehicles
Select brake pads whose shape is compatible with the calipers, track, and/or A1-261 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 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 A1-261 for Compatible Vehicles
What are the sizes of the A1-261 discs for my vehicle? The part number shown measures 390 × 34 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 mounting hubs.
Do I need to replace the brake pads on my vehicle?Yes. Always install new brake pads with new rotors or new brake pads. Their shape and compound must be compatible with the A1-261 rotor and/or braking surfaces and 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 rotors, and an instruction manual for installing new tracks on existing rotors. Consult the document that applies to your specific task before you begin.
