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 which
inhibits performance. Here’s where Power Slot rotors make
a big difference. The exclusive Vac-U-Slots machined into the
rotor “wipes” brake pads clean, evacuates gases,
and sheds 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 only
needed for the most severe competition applications.
Power Slot rotors are manufactured to the highest tolerances
keeping SAFETY and quality our 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 loose 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 less cooling
fins than their OE counterpart. These fins also serve to reinforce the rotor
and guard against warpage. Power Slot rotors always meet and/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 Power Performance Group’s application specific tolerances to ensure
optimum quality control.
The final touch is a military-spec cadmium plating that
gives Power Slot rotors their bright silver finish
and protects the rotor from the elements. This
eliminates
rusty rotor syndrome and enhances the look of custom wheels.
