PowerSlot Rotors - Any Vendors?

[The Fixer]

I need a pair of PowerSlot rotors for an '89-'92 F-body with the 1LE (12") brake package. Are any of our sponsors able to get them? Please PM me if you can!

Are you stuck on powerslot rotors? I have a contact that can get crossdrilled/sloted rotors at great prices. Hes not a vendor though.

crossdrilled = cracking & just for show
I am testing a set on a 74 T/A currently to verify what others have said and what I have personally seen (even twin turbo porsches).

I'd stay away from them and stick with solids or slotted only.

Off topic.

I was told that porsche rotors are not drilled. They are cast that way.

you would be correct..... i have drilled and slotted rotors and have yet to have cracks going on 2 years now and if i do get cracks ill simply replace them

Yeah, it takes more than 157 miles to do it.

Ive put some hard miles on my $40 a piece drilled rotors.....still going great.....no squeals or shaking.

that is correct, but I have seen them crack during hard track use. For a street car that will not see extreme use, that will be fine.

maybe 8157 miles sir

ooooohhhhhh.

Are the drilled rotors really hard on pads? I've been looking online at RockAuto, Wagner sells a performance drilled/slotted 1LE rotor that's only about ~$70 each - PowerSlots are around $110 each at TireRack. My Monte is a street car, but it does get abused "occasionally." I wouldn't mind saving $100 as long as they won't kill the pads or crack if I beat on the car.

Seems like a few of you haven't had issues with your drilled rotors, so that's a good sign. Which way would you go?

[Formula_Ltx]

Mine were $200 for the set got them off ebay, forget the company. but if u look around theres plenty of them. had for about a year no problems

[TaKid455]

check out DBA's line of rotors. very good quality and reports. C5 slotted are about 110-125 a pop

[The Fixer]

Thanks TaKid, but I just checked their site and they only list for 4th-gens. My Monte has a B-body spindle up front with the '89-'92 F-body 1LE 12" rotor. It's the budget-friendly way to get bigger brakes on the front of 2nd-gens too, as I'm sure you know.

His name is Rich. I had a set of cross drilled/sloted rotors of his for over 2 years with no problems at all.

tracking drilled rotors is like banging whores without a bag. you might be fine for years, but is that a chance you want to take.

Agreed, but my car is purely a street car. I barely have enough free time to drive it to a cruise night, let alone run it on a track. I just need to get it back together with good brakes, and I'm on a tight budget. :)

I got a set off ebay and my front have started to shake bad after about 6-8 months.
