[QUOTE="80KM2E, post: 16987237, member: 167972"] Yep, its been a long time coming. 13/14 is very niche market and the rotor size is unique, so the tooling ends up being costly. If there's enough interest or perhaps deposits for them to make the tooling happen I'm sure they'd make them. I live close by to Girodisc in WA so I've been in their shop and have spoken to them a couple times regarding the GT500 rears. That being said, I decided to just run their S197 rear offering on my GT racecar after having oem & centric blank rotors crack after a couple events, sometimes even one event! Since swapping over to their rear, the rings last over a whole season - almost two seasons. Many GT owners run the 13/14 GT500 brackets with the plain / oem larger rear rotors and that also works, but adds rotational mass. I think the smaller Girodisc is a better setup, just because of the 2pc design allowing much better heat dissipation and its a lot lighter. The only reason I see moving to the 13/14 size is for the looks to fill out wheel, or for the small market of 13/14 GT500 owners who would actually fork up the cash for a set. [/QUOTE]
