Centric® - SportStop Slotted Brake Rotors

Benefits:

• Slots reduce stopping distances in wet weather
• Slots help to increase pad bite and improve air circulation
• Slots create an escape route for debris, dust, gases, and water
• Slots clean and de-glaze pad surface for optimum pad coefficient of friction
• Vented type of rotors offers much faster heat dissipation

Every Centric Rotor is produced from a high quality Centric Parts blank casting and finished in a durable e-coating for corrosion resistance. Centric Rotors look great behind custom wheels, improve the initial bite of the brake pads, and help wipe away the debris that forms between the pad and the disc. Most Centric Rotors are finished with black e-coating on both sides of the hat, inside the cooling vanes, and on the outside edge. E-coating is a superior electro-statically applied finish designed to withstand 400 hours of salt water exposure without rusting. This is especially important on both mounting faces of the hat where it touches the hub flange and back face of the wheel. Any accumulation of rust in this area can lead to installed lateral run out issues. Power Alloy metallurgy is an exclusive feature of many Centric rotors. In specific vehicle applications, Centric works with foundry partners to increase the molybdenum or carbon content of the castings, and to carefully control the cooling rate during production to reach targets for hardness and tensile strength. Nearly all Centric 1-piece rotors have unique slot or hole patterns for the left and right sides of the vehicle. For these directional patterns, straight vane or pillar vane rotors are used to ensure that a drilled hole never touches a cooling vane.
