Why do you need big brake calipers and rotors?
If your calipers and rotors are not big enough, it will take longer for your vehicle to stop. Our calipers grip intensely for the fastest possible stop from high-speed driving. Larger, more powerful brake pads perform better in all weather conditions.
What do drilled and slotted rotors do for a car?
Better stopping power. Dust-free braking performance. Perfectly matched rotors and pads along with upgraded stainless steel hardware, new pin bushings and high temperature brake lubricant. Each Evolution Drilled & Slotted rotor is checked and balanced for safe, smooth braking performance.
What kind of rotors do I need for my PowerStop?
Evolution Drilled, Slotted, & Zinc Plated Rotors are the most popular performance upgrade rotors PowerStop offers. The rounded slots sweep away gas and debris to provide smooth, safe braking while beveled drill holes keep those brake temperatures down when you need it most.
When do rotors and pads need to be free from defects?
PowerStop LLC warrants its rotors and pads to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for 30 days from the purchase date or 500 miles of use, whichever occurs first.
Why are slotted brake rotors better than drilled?
How it works is that when the leading edge of the slots on the rotor hits the brake pads, the debris slide through the slots and is thrown off the rotor. As such, slotted brake rotors have more braking power as compared to drilled brake rotors.
Can a drilled slotted rotor be resurfaced?
You cannot resurface drilled and slotted rotor You will need to replace your drilled-slotted rotor entirely if something happens to it for a particular reason. Unlike solid rotors, you will not resurface the drilled and slotted rotor in order to improve its functionality.
How are rotors used in a brake pad?
Also referred to as discs, rotors offer a contact point for the car’s brake pad once you engage your car’s pedal in order to come to a stop when driving. Once you apply pressure on your pedal, every pad’s set caliper housing gets activated, which then compresses them into a rotor hence creating friction.
Why are there holes in my brake rotor?
Due to the construction of a drilled brake rotor, it is more likely to cause cracks. The holes on a drilled brake rotor cause the rotor to lose its rigidity, unlike a plain rotor brake which comes with complete construction.
