Get it all in one click. Supertruck Essentials combines two great names in braking to give you maximum stopping power. Power Slot Rotors exclusive designed slots machined into the rotor will wipe brake pads clean, evacuate gases between pads & rotors, and shed heat that causes brake fade. The Hawk HPS compound offers a higher coefficient of friction and can provide you 20-40% more stopping power and higher resistance to brake fade. Less fade means you’ll have a highly durable brake pad with less brake dust. more...

Installation Notes

Install Time: 2-4 Hours

Note: Hawk Performance burnishes its Performance Ceramic brake pads as a final step in the factory, but all brake pads have to be bedded-in with the rotors (new or used) that they will be used against.

Product Details

Power Slot rotors make a difference! The exclusive designed slots machined into the rotor will wipe brake pads clean, evacuate gases between pads & rotors, and shed heat that causes brake fade.

Excessive heat can cause resins in your brake pad to vaporize or "outgas." As the brake pad wears, the used friction material turns into a fine dust. This boundary layer of heat, gas and dust builds up between the pad and rotor surfaces and inhibits performance. Here's where Power Slot's slotted brake rotors make a big difference.
Power Slot's exclusive Vac-U-Slots are machined into the rotor and help evacuate gasses and dust, shed heat, and keep the brake pad surface clean. And in wet, raining conditions, our Vac-U-Slot helps push water off the braking surface for better stopping power.
The Vac-U-Slot also serves as a visual wear indicator. The slot is machined to the rotor’s minimum thickness where it crosses the outside edge. If you cannot see the slot along the outside edge, the rotor has worn down to its discard depth.

Research and Design
Every Power Slot rotor starts off as a premium quality blank casting sourced from the best foundries in North America, Europe and Asia. We make sure our products meet and exceed the features of the O.E. (original equipment) rotor, paying special attention to:

Casting grade and metallurgy per SAE J431.

Brinnel hardness (BHN) and surface finish (RA.)

Critical design elements such as the number of cooling vanes, vane direction, heat dams, and plate thickness.

Premium Sourcing VS Economy Sourcing
Some competitors will sacrifice quality by using inexpensive, off-shore economy castings made in China or other emerging markets. While these economy rotors might be okay for light-duty city driving, they won’t hold up under the rigors of high performance, fleet or severe duty driving.

Structural Integrity
Drilled OE sized rotors may look cool, but they are not a good choice for performance or severe duty driving. When you drill an OE sized rotor, you weaken it and cause stress points that may lead to cracking. Drilled rotors lose considerable surface area and mass compared to slotted rotors. That means less active braking area for the pad to make contact on the rotor. Our VACUSLOT slotting pattern, unlike drilling, doesn’t compromise the structural integrity of the rotor. Ultimately the choice is yours. Regardless of whether you choose a slotted or drilled rotor, make sure you get the highest quality casting. Don't use an economy offshore rotor in a severe-duty or performance application.

Military Spec Plating
Power Slot applies a proprietary military-spec plating on nearly every rotor we sell. This protects the rotor from harmful corrosion during the early stage of its wear life. Other competitors use inferior Zinc plating on their rotors, or no plating at all! In salt spray testing, our Cadmium plating last up to 60% longer than Zinc.

Hawk HPS Brake Pads
High Performance Street disc brake pads are world renowned for increasing stopping power on your street legal vehicle. This unique Ferro-Carbon formula was developed for street performance using the safety and quality of Aerospace and Motor-Sports severe-duty friction technology. The HPS compound offers a higher coefficient of friction and can provide you 20-40% more stopping power and higher resistance to brake fade. Less fade means you’ll have a highly durable brake pad with less brake dust.
