PowerSlot Brake Rotors

PowerSlot LogoResearch & Design
All PowerSlot brake rotors start off as a premium quality blank casting sourced from the best foundries in North America, Europe and Asia. They make sure their products meet and exceed the features of the factory rotor.

Premium Sourcing vs. economy sourcing
Some competitors will sacrifice quality by using inexpensive, off-shore economy castings made in China or other emerging markets. While these economy rotors might be okay for light-duty city driving, they won’t hold up under the rigors of high performance, fleet or severe duty driving.

Military Spec Plating
PowerSlot brake rotors have a proprietary military-spec plating on nearly every rotor they sell. This protects the rotor from harmful corrosion during the early stage of its wear life. Other competitors use inferior Zinc plating on their rotors, or no plating at all! In salt spray testing, our Cadmium plating last up to 60% longer than Zinc.

PowerSlot Premium Brake Rotor

Excessive heat can cause resins in your brake pad to vaporize or "outgas." As the brake pad wears, the used friction material turns into a fine dust. This boundary layer of heat, gas and dust builds up between the pad and rotor surfaces and inhibits performance. Here's where slotted PowerSlot brake rotors make a big difference.

PowerSlot's exclusive Vac-U-Slots are machined into the rotor and help evacuate gasses and dust, shed heat, and keep the brake pad surface clean. And in wet, raining conditions, their Vac-U-Slot helps push water off the braking surface for better stopping power.

The Vac-U-Slot also serves as a visual wear indicator. The slot is machined to the rotor’s minimum thickness where it crosses the outside edge. If you cannot see the slot along the outside edge, the rotor has worn down to its discard depth. A combination of performance brake pads and PowerSlot slotted rotors will deliver superior, reliable braking for virtually all automotive, truck and SUV applications, even under hard driving and severe duty conditions. For police pursuit vehicles and club racers, we suggest using PowerSlot Cryo rotors.

PowerSlot Cryo Rotors

PowerSlot Cryo Brake Rotor

When you need something tougher than a PowerSlot rotor, but you’re not quite ready for a big brake kit, try PowerSlot Cryo rotors. They've teamed up with Frozen Rotors to offer cryogenic treatment on their PowerSlot rotor line.

Deep cryogenic treatment is a one-time process that permanently improves the performance and service life of metals from brake rotors and engine parts, to machine tools and gear sets. Using a proprietary computer-controlled process, the metal is cooled gradually to -300°F and then slowly returned to room temperature and heat-cycled as the final step.

Although not apparent to the naked eye, the improvements to the rotor are significant. The cryogenic treatment process redistributes residual stress in the rotor giving it an extra level of protection against warping.

PowerSlot Pro Stop Rotor

PowerSlot Pro Stop Brake Rotor

Designed for the performance enthusiast who wants the “look” of a cross drilled brake rotor without the inherent cracking problems, PowerSlot’s Pro Stop rotors give you the best of both worlds. Pro Stop rotors are machined with their highly effective Vac-U-Slot design and enhanced with a series of “dimples” that look like drilled holes. As the brake pad contacts the rotor, the dimples turn black, simulating the cross-drilled look.

All Pro Stop rotors are made to the same high quality specifications as the original PowerSlot product line, Pro Stop slotted/dimpled rotors are perfect for show cars or for daily driven vehicles. However for high performance or severe duty applications, we recommend traditional PowerSlot slotted brake rotors for maximum effectiveness.

PowerSlot Plus Logo

Introducing the PowerSlot Plus Big Brake System. The PowerSlot Plus system uses a larger diameter, premium quality PowerSlot brake rotor combined with your original factory brake calipers. The patented caliper relocation brackets space the factoryPowerSlot Plus caliper further away from the hub to accommodate an oversized brake rotor.

This increases brake torque force without affecting pedal effort or travel. The larger rotor is also a more effective heat sink, absorbing the heat generated under heavy braking. This greatly reduces brake fade and provides consistently shorter stopping distances, especially from higher speeds.

NOTE: All PowerSlot Plus brake kits require the use of larger diameter wheels. Check the dimensions of your wheels carefully before purchasing.
