Question 1

Should i be replacing my brake pads when replacing my rotors ?

Accepted Answer

Yes simply put ! , The reason for replacing brake pads when replacing rotors is that your older brake pads made have indentations from the older rotors causing the pads surface not to be leveled there by reducing braking power and allowing debris to enter and causing unwanted squeeling as well as possibly damaging the surface of your new rotor

Question 2

What are coated Rotors ?

Accepted Answer

Coated rotors implies that the rotor is sprayed with a chemical layer that prevents corrosion/rust and with said coating allows the rotor to have an increased lifespan

Question 3

What are vented rotors ?

Accepted Answer

The term vented applies to the brake rotors having a space between its two sides allows for the rotors to cool down quicker in hot temperatures or demanding conditions . Vented rotors are extremly prefereed and opted by the Canadian automotive industry.

Question 4

What is a solid Rotor ?

Accepted Answer

A solid rotor refers to a rotor that is built with a single piece of steel or carbon composite. It is very commons to see this type of rotor installed on the rear axle of many daily driven vehicles.

Question 5

Can i mix and match brake pad and brake rotor manufacturers ?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely when it comes to brakes for a vehicle the most important fact is FITMENT. if it fits it will work according to specifcaition of the parts manufacturer. Ideally try to keep it to the same manufacturer as that combination has been thoroughly tested

Question 6

Once installed do i need to perform a brake bedding procedure ?

Accepted Answer

In short YES ! , by bedding your brake pads you ensure your brake components ease into use and therby increasing there lifespan. Think of it more like a break in period for your new parts.

Question 7

Question 8

Are Powerstop’s evolution drilled and slotted zinc-coated brake rotors coated?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Powerstop Evolution drilled and slotted brake rotors are coated using silver zinc for preventing corrosion and rusting.

Question 9

What are the benefits of drills and slots on the brake rotors?

Accepted Answer

The slots and drills on Powerstop evolution’s drilled and slotted zinc-coated brake rotors aid in offering water and dust dissipation. Additionally, the slots aid in increasing pad bites and improving air circulation.

Question 10

What is the purpose of cross-drilled holes on the Powerstop’s evolution drilled and slotted zinc-coated brake rotors?

Accepted Answer

The cross-drilled holes on the brake rotors aid in keeping the brake rotors up to 180 degrees Fahrenheit cooler.

Question 11

What is the DTV tolerance specification of Powerstop Evolution drilled and slotted zinc-coated brake rotors?

Accepted Answer

The rotor run out of the brake rotors is within 0.0015 while the DTV tolerance specification is within 0.005.

Question 12

Are Powerstop’s evolution drilled and slotted zinc-coated brake rotors good for extreme braking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the beveled and precision drill holes on the brake rotors help in keeping the temperature down during extreme brain performance which makes it a top choice.

Question 13

What are the rounded slots on the Powerstop’s evolution drilled and slotted zinc-coated brake rotors?

Accepted Answer

The rounded slots found on the brake rotors are essential as they keep a clear contact patch between the pad and the rotor by removing water, gas, and dust for optimum performance. Also, the pad bites are increased by slots for improving air circulation.

Question 14

Are Powerstop’s evolution drilled and slotted zinc-coated brake rotors good quality?

Accepted Answer

Yes, machined using the Tru-Cast™ technology, these brake rotors use only the finest blanks and feature G3000-grade cast iron from the best foundries in the business. Also, these rotors have a carbon content of 3%, maintaining a 210 Brinell hardness and 250 MPa tensile strength. Additionally, the cast iron’s microstructure is a perfect homogeneous matrix of perlitic and graphite flakes which makes these brake rotors the best in the market.
