It’s a fact that venting the gas emitted by hot brake pads improves overall brake performance and helps minimize fade. One way to do this is the slot or cross-drill the face of the rotor to aid cooling and eliminate the gas emitted by brake pads. Power Slot rotors bring this technology to the street and are specifically designed to run cooler, promote dramatically improved wet and dry brake performance.

The Power Slot slotting process removes far less of the rotor’s surface area than cross drilling to help maintain the highest possible co-efficient of friction for the brake pads to work against. Slotted rotors trade only 3.7% of their surface area to the slots that vent the gasses, while drilled rotors sacrifice up to 7.75% of their surface area, and rotors that are both drilled and slotted sacrifice up to 9.38% of their surface area. Less surface area means less stopping friction.

Starting with select castings manufactured in Italy and the U. S. , all Power Slot rotors are CNC machined to application specific tolerances that utilize a patent pending tapered-slot technology to create a vent for brake dust and pad gasses while preserving rotor strength.

The slot designs of Power Slot rotors are angled to use the rotors’ direction of rotation to enhance performance. This makes them side specific with left side (driver’s) and right side (passenger’s) rotors. Brightly-plated Power Slot rotors also eliminate rusty rotor syndrome and enhance the look of custom wheels. Their military spec cadmium plating adds a high-tech appearance and corrosion resistance.

Power Slot rotors are designed to beat the challenges of high performance driving and severe duty brake demands, and represent one of the most cost-efficient performance brake upgrades offered in the market today.

These do NOT replace the JCW front Big Brake Kit, if your car has that option (look for red calipers with the John Cooper Works logo on the face) but they will fit the rear.
