Thanks in advance, Brian :top: PS I would love to upgrade to big brake kits but due to limited funds not ready for the step OEM at Morristown MINI or use DCMM discount at some of the local dealers. Or...... Brembo replacement rotors
Brian0758 Posted June 20, 2010 Author Report Posted June 20, 2010 Has anyone ever used the Power Slot Premium Rotors? http://www.powerslot.com/power_slot.php Pricing seems reasonably for a slotted rotor and I like the fact they are finished in a durable black e-coat on the hat, edges and internal vanes. 2012 Jeep Rubicon

I used it with my Acura a while back, looks good, works great and a reasonable price.
Christina-JCW Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 I used it with my Acura a while back, looks good, works great and a reasonable price. I installed the M7 drilled & slotted rotors with Mintex red pads 2 years ago on my R53. Complete replacement for OEM. I was able to get 50k miles on the front rotors before I replaced them last month. I have OEM in the front, still have the M7 drilled/slotted in back. I just upgraded to SS brake lines with racing brake fluid a month.

Brian0758 Posted June 20, 2010 Author Report Posted June 20, 2010 Brian, the Hawk HPS pads work really well (I put a full set on Lona's Z) and they are very low dust as well. Thanks for the info. I have a set of Mintex Red that I bought awhile ago and they are also suppose to be high performance/low dust. I need to replace my OEM and am planning on new rotors. I read the Power Slot are an excellent upgrade but not too expensive. 2012 Jeep Rubicon

Brian0758 Posted June 25, 2010 Author Report Posted June 25, 2010 Finally decided and got the Power Slot rotors but due to my limited budget could not upgrade to the cyro treated. Now I need to run over to MachV's to pickup some braided brake lines, ATE brake fluid and the brake caliper paint kit. :top: 2012 Jeep Rubicon
thedoctorisin Posted June 29, 2010 Report Posted June 29, 2010 Brembo blanks are the best way to go outside of standard oem rotors. Are you planning on any severe track duty? If not, cross-drilled and slotted rotors are only good for appearance purposes.
