Cross drilled vs. slotted ,which type of rotor is better?
Your driving habits are the most important factor in the choice
between cross-drilled vs. slotted. For a customer who likes the
appearance of cross-drilled and is not abusive on the brakes or
seldom carries heavy loads or tows, Pro Stop drilled can fulfill
your needs, recommends that hawk Performance hps brake pads be
used with pro stop drilled rotors. |

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. A combination of Hawk®
high performance brake pads and Power Slot
slotted rotors will deliver superior, reliable
braking for virtually all automotive, truck and
SUV applications, even under hard driving and
severe duty conditions. But for our most
demanding customers such as police pursuit
vehicles and club racers, we also suggest Power
Slot Cryo rotors. |
