They're made by the same company, just different divisions.

PowerStop rotors can either come cross-drilled; cross-drilled & slotted; or slotted and dimpled. PowerSlot rotors only come slotted. Any of the fore mentioned rotors will stand up to a beating.

Can't do it. I want to eliminate rusty rotor syndrome. They sell Powerslots but at a stiffer price than competitors. Thanks for your reply

i have powerslot rotors and they are good u see its like this if you have drilled rotors but a small size (depending) on what u have stock size u stoping wont be as good ie: u have a something round w/lots of holes and u were trying to stop,right and the grippping surface is not much for your break pad to grab(drilled).
Now with slotted u know that it has slotts on them there for you will stop better u see they cool off real quick.And if you have the money to up grade breaks than sure...... but if not go slotted i have a 200sx and i think they are @ least a 11inc rotor shit i for got but i was going to go w/drilled but by stoping wont was good...


P.S I hope u got what i just said........LOLOLOLOLO!!!

If you have cross-drilled rotors you won't loose any braking performance. Cross-drilling, just like slotting and venting, provide a means for brake pad vapors to escape from the surface of the rotor. Sure with cross-drilled rotors your at a higher risk of causing a stress fracture in the rotor, but that would require extremely hard braking for an extrememly long period of time. My Baer Track Kit uses cross-drilled/slotted/vented/2 piece rotors, and the fact that the rotors are cross-drilled doesn't affect normal street braking performance at all. If I were autocrossing I'd actually be better off with cross-drilled rotors because they'll stay cooler longer. The surface area of a cross-drilled/slotted rotor is equal to the surface area of a regular vented only rotor.
