Heat is the primary cause of ineffective brakes, due to fade. There is actually a boundary layer of gases that builds up between the pad and rotor surface, inhibiting performance. Here’s where Power Slot rotors make a big difference. The exclusive Vac-U-Slots machined into the rotor wipe brake pads clean, evacuate gases, and shed heat. A combination of a high-performance pad and Power Slot rotors will provide superior, reliable braking for virtually all automotive and truck applications, with an upgrade to larger diameter rotors and bigger calipers typically needed for only the most severe competition applications.

Power Slot rotors are manufactured to the highest tolerances, keeping safety and quality its number one priority. Slotting, unlike drilling, doesn’t compromise the structural integrity of the rotor. When you drill a rotor, you weaken it and cause stress points that can lead to cracking and ultimately failure. Also, drilled rotors lose considerable surface area compared to slotted rotors, which means less active braking area for pad-to-rotor contact.

Power Slot rotors are made using the highest quality original equipment replacement blanks. Competitors will sacrifice quality by using inexpensive off-shore castings. Typically, these are made of inferior porous material and often have fewer cooling fins than their OE counterparts. These fins also serve to reinforce the rotor and guard against warpage. Power Slot rotors always meet or exceed all OE specifications. It’s also important to know that the exclusive Vac-U-Slot is tapered to enhance evacuation of heat and gases. All machining is done in house to application-specific tolerances to ensure optimum quality control.
