PowerSlot Rotors - Any Vendors?
 

I need a pair of PowerSlot rotors for an '89-'92 F-body with the 1LE (12") brake package. Are any of our sponsors able to get them? Please PM me if you can!

Are you stuck on powerslot rotors? I have a contact that can get crossdrilled/sloted rotors at great prices. Hes not a vendor though.

crossdrilled = cracking & just for show
I am testing a set on a 74 T/A currently to verify what others have said and what I have personally seen (even twin turbo porsches).

I'd stay away from them and stick with solids or slotted only.

Off topic.

I was told that porsche rotors are not drilled. They are cast that way.

you would be correct..... i have drilled and slotted rotors and have yet to have cracks going on 2 years now and if i do get cracks ill simply replace them

Yeah, it takes more than 157 miles to do it.

Ive put some hard miles on my $40 a piece drilled rotors.....still going great.....no squeals or shaking.

that is correct, but I have seen them crack during hard track use. For a street car that will not see extreme use, that will be fine.

maybe 8157 miles sir

ooooohhhhhh.

:rofl:

Are the drilled rotors really hard on pads? I've been looking online at RockAuto, Wagner sells a performance drilled/slotted 1LE rotor that's only about ~$70 each - PowerSlots are around $110 each at TireRack. My Monte is a street car, but it does get abused "occasionally." I wouldn't mind saving $100 as long as they won't kill the pads or crack if I beat on the car.

Seems like a few of you haven't had issues with your drilled rotors, so that's a good sign. Which way would you go?

Mine were $200 for the set got them off ebay, forget the company. but if u look around theres plenty of them. had for about a year no problems

check out DBA's line of rotors. very good quality and reports. C5 slotted are about 110-125 a pop

Thanks TaKid, but I just checked their site and they only list for 4th-gens. My Monte has a B-body spindle up front with the '89-'92 F-body 1LE 12" rotor. It's the budget-friendly way to get bigger brakes on the front of 2nd-gens too, as I'm sure you know.

E-Mail this guy...

His name is Rich. I had a set of cross drilled/sloted rotors of his for over 2 years with no problems at all.

tracking drilled rotors is like banging whores without a bag. you might be fine for years, but is that a chance you want to take.

Agreed, but my car is purely a street car. I barely have enough free time to drive it to a cruise night, let alone run it on a track. I just need to get it back together with good brakes, and I'm on a tight budget. :)

Price?

I got a set off ebay and my front have started to shake bad after about 6-8 months.

For Front & Rear Cross Drilled/Slotted Rotors and Performance Pads on an LS1 car.... $270 shippped!
