Paragon Slotted Rotors or Girodisc Rotors? Do they fit the oem top hat?

[testarozsa]

Hi, I am a light HPDE driver with the car mainly being a daily, however before I move on to a miata I want this car to be more track ready, at 11k miles I need to just start considering a new front rotor with more and more track days racking up, I am just curious on which Slotted rotors I should get, from what I can tell paragon is more actively within honda team developments, but giro disc has better quality since it's made in America and Paragon is made in China? The thing is I want to save some money and run the OEM top hat/ring, I don't know whats the difference here, Do I need to replace the top hat when changing rotors or is that part reuseable forever? If I can use OEM top hats, should I just get paragon rotors since they actually sells them seperately unlike girodisc where you have to buy the whole thing?

Paragons can use OEM hat. They are good. Just because it’s made in America does not make it automatically better. If that was the case you wouldn’t be driving a Japanese car.

Any of the aftermarket have noise issues? I had run DBA on an STI die to no noise reviews an know they have an option for these

I replaced my front rotors with paragon's. They are noisier than OEM because of the slotted design.

Out of curiosity I checked how many Rings we've sold because we've only received 1 review all these years, and yeah 27 sets so far, with the last sale being last week.

I've figured out that when people are happy with a product they'll go about their day, and when they're not happy with the product they'll be sure to leave a review. I just have to reach out to 26 customers now to share their thoughts if they have a couple minutes because as far as I can tell they're happy campers with the replacement

Save your OE Hats, go with these. You won't be disappointed!

Girodisc come with top hats, but they are are our best selling rotors. (Mainly in the euro world)

Sounds like these rings improve cooling. How does the weight of the Paragon rings compare to the OEM setup?

The fronts are a couple pounds lighter each.
