It’s a fact that venting the gas emitted by hot brake pads improves overall brake performance and helps minimize fade. At one time the conventional wisdom in racing circles was to cross-drill brake rotors to aid cooling and eliminate the gas emitted by brake pads. However, today’s elite teams in open wheel, Indy and Trans Am racing are moving away from crack-prone, cross-drilled brake rotors in favor of rotors modified with a fatigue-resistant slotting process. Power Slot rotors bring this technology to the street and are specifically designed to run cooler, promote dramatically improved wet and dry brake performance, and are a safer alternative to drilling crack prone holes through cast iron rotors. The Power Slot slotting process removes far less of the rotor’s surface area than conventional 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. |

Power Slot Cryo rotors
Search by vehicle
Power Slot has teamed up with Frozen Rotors to develop Power Slot Cryo cryogenically treated slotted rotors. Although not apparent to the naked eye, rotors treated cryogenically show significant improvements. Deep cryogenic processing creates dramatic increases in abrasive wear resistance and durability while also reducing residual stresses for an extra level of protection against warping Serious drivers -- those who tend to cross the finish line first -- take their edge where they can find it. And a growing number of them have embraced the edge that they've found in cryogenically treated brake rotors. Here's why:

| Power Slot Plus system
Search by vehicle
Big brakes normally come with a big price tag. Until now. The Power Slot Plus system features a premium quality, one-piece slotted brake rotor with a two-piece "look" that is larger than the vehicle's Original Equipment rotor but that can still be used with the vehicle's original factory brake calipers. Included in the system are Power Slot's patented caliper relocation brackets. These brackets are used to space the factory caliper further away from the hub to accommodate the 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 to greatly reduce brake fade and provide consistently shorter stopping distances, especially during higher speed driving.

It's a fact that venting the gas emitted by hot brake pads improves overall brake performance and helps minimize fade. At one time the conventional wisdom in racing circles was to cross-drill brake rotors to aid cooling and eliminate the gas emitted by brake pads. However, today's elite teams in open wheel, Indy and Trans Am racing are moving away from crack prone, cross-drilled brake rotors in favor of rotors modified with a fatigue resistant slotting process. Power Slot's Pro-Series rotors were developed to combine the look of a cross-drilled rotor with the durability of a slotted rotor. Pro-Series rotors are enhanced with a series of drilled "dimples" that look like cross-drilled holes (especially when brake dust is collected at the bottom of the dimples after several hundred miles of driving). By installing Pro-Series rotors, a driver can have the "look" of a cross-drilled rotor and the performance of a slotted rotor without compromising the structural integrity of the rotor. Pro-Series rotors with their faux-drilled dimple treatment are specifically designed to provide a safer alternative to drilling crack prone holes through cast iron rotors. The Pro-Series slotting process and faux-drilled treatment removes less heat absorbing mass and less of the rotor's surface area than conventional cross drilling to help maintain the highest possible co-efficient of friction for the brake pads to work against. Starting with select castings manufactured in Italy and the U.

However, today's elite teams in open wheel, Indy and Trans Am racing are moving away from crack prone, cross-drilled brake rotors in favor of rotors modified with a fatigue resistant slotting process. Power Slot's Pro-Series II rotors were developed to combine the look of a cross-drilled rotor with the durability of a slotted rotor. Pro-Series II rotors are enhanced with a series of four drilled "dimples" that look like cross-drilled holes (especially when brake dust is collected at the bottom of the dimples after several hundred miles of driving). By installing Pro-Series II rotors, a driver can have the "look" of a cross-drilled rotor and the performance of a slotted rotor without compromising the structural integrity of the rotor. Pro-Series II rotors with their faux-drilled dimple treatment are specifically designed to provide a safer alternative to drilling crack prone holes through cast iron rotors and offer a more aggressive appearance than the original Pro-Series rotors.
