Anyone have PowerSlots rotors warp?

just wondering if anyone has had or heard of any one who had there Powerslot rotors warp. Alot of people seem to like them but they offer no warranty for warping - only 3/36 on man. defects...

Beechkid is gaining momentum as a positive member of FTE.
With regards to rotors, I have previously run Brembo OEM replacement rotors that are cryogenically treated at Diversified Cryogenics, making them almost as hard as stainless steel. Unfortunately, Brembo, Powerslot, Raybestos, Bendix, Hawk etc. are all purchasing their rotors from the same foundary in China (with the exception of the $300 each composite high end units for Ferrari, Porsche, etc). Whether you look at PS, DC, Carbo, they purchase the highest grade rotors made, laser mic them for quality, scrap the ones that are out of spec. I highly recommend cryogenically treating the rotors as they will be almost as strong as stainless.

For street use, slotted/drilled rotors are just “cheese-graters” for the brake pads IMHO, because unless you are involved in true racing conditions, the brake linings do not produce the gases which slotted/drilled rotors are designed to relive.

For what its worth....i've had really good luck with powerSTOP rotors (the cross drilled ones).... i'm in need of a new set but think i'm going to try the royalty rotors (by diversified cryo) instead this time to give the cryo treated ones a try...


You're going to have to make your own mind up on drilled or slotted rotors....most companies that manufacture drilled or slotted rotors (brembo, wildwood, diversified cryo) say they run cooler, most companies that don't make them say they don't work any better...


I know i've had good luck with drilled rotors on my lincoln, my 95 F-150, my grand am, and my R6.....BUT...you'll have to make up your mind yourself
