were those slotted or crossdrilled? Or is that one of the small hole that the screw goes into? I have bremo slotted rotors, they seem fine.

*BTW most rotors say NOT for racing use. Except for really expensive ones. Point is if you race, dont get slotted/drilled get blanks.

ok, cool. Casue I have brembo slotted, they arent rice, I actually notice a difference they seem to stop a little quicker than my OEM's

SO fix your title, dont say POWERSLOT> Say CROSS DRILLED

... ok, nice cracked Power Stop rotor, but where is the pic of the Power Slot rotor?

ps if your going to go "drilled", KVR seems to be the least expensive without the cracking...

Based on my track experience (100+ track events), all rotors eventually crack. I've cracked 'em all - solid, drilled, slotted, drilled/slotted, OEM, aftermarket, etc. Rotors are like brake pads and tires - they're consumable items that wear out. As long as I get a good 8-10 track events from a set, I don't mind.

Consider air cooling ducts.

Solid aftermarket rotors from Pep-Boys ($24.95 each) work as good or better than the factory rotors on my car.

Slotted/Drilled/2 piece/coated/name brand/whatever... all of them are rice if they do not stop you.

Rotors are like brake pads and tires - they're consumable items that wear out.


That is why I found the cheapest source for them... once they have served the allotted time... I toss them.

yeah the new set I have in my garage now are Porterfield slotted - Cryo treated - rotors. We'll see how long those last, and yeah, I need ducts BAD.

The cryo should help.

I've recently talked to the people @ ART, Dean Beauchamp 805-583-4624
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=74080
and they seemed to have a good price for cryo'd slotted rotors (certainly less than what I'd paid Porterfield for just cryo'd blanks). Ed.
