Agreed. PureMS carries them IIRC. Or Avalon. Or AutohausAZ.

Default agreed: stay away from slots and drilled.

As far as corrosion, all rotors will rust and corrode due to the temp changes.

Just get cheap ones as you'll be changing them often if you track the car

Default who of you actually owns powerslot rotors?

I have had a lot of cars and had a lot of different rotor/brake setups and I seriously love the power slot. They in fact do NOT rust ever, I have had em on for two years through all seasons in new england and they have no rust and almost no fade what so ever.

Totally awesome product. go for it.

Default No rust? ever look at them after they sit for a while?

before you drive it next time, check them out.

They've got iron in them, they rust.


coatings wera off due to heat cycling.


I prefer the cheapest rotors as the track takes its toll and it hurts less to swap em...

Default they rust when they sit in water? No ****.

when I wash the car they get rusty in the 2 hours that takes. However, the part that shows rust is wear the pads run. After your first stop-sign the rust is gone and has no rust anywhere else.

I ordered power-slots for the front and ate for the back two years ago. In less than a week the ate's looked like uber **** and to this day the power-slots still look great.
