Directional Cooling Vanes
Each base C5 C6 rotor is side and wheel specific which means the cooling vanes are venting the correct direction for maximum rotor cooling. Unlike other rotors these rotors are side specific with directional cooling vanes! Rotors with directional cooling vanes maximize the heat extraction from the rotors. Directional cooling vanes help reduce brake fading and extend rotor life.



TPS Motorsports from day one has always been about bringing the best value and service to our customers as possible. We are now proud to roll out our line of slotted/ cross drilled, slotted and slotted/dimpled rotors. These rotors are made by Centric, which is the parent company of Stoptech and are a very high quality rotor. Our rotors are FAR superior than lower priced “eBay” rotors. We have tested our rotors on customers street and open track vehicles.

Which Rotor is right for me?
One question which is always asked of me is which type of brake rotor is better.. slotted or cross drilled? Before answering this question we need to ask.. what type of driving do you do? If it is mostly a street car, then cross drilled rotors will be fine. Cross Drilled rotors main benefit is they look great and do offer some heat dissipation and a wiping effect of the pads when wet. The main disadvantages for cross-drilled rotors is they have a history of playing connect the dots.. cracking. If you are very hard on your brakes or take your car to the track I would suggest slotted rotors. Slotted Rotors on the other hand offer great heat dissipation. Better braking than cross-drilled because of increase braking surface over a cross drilled unit. Generally a solid rotor is 100% material touching the pad, slotted is about 92% and drilled is 85%. More braking surface means better braking power. SLOTTED ROTORS IS WHAT WE RECOMMEND FOR MOST CARS ESPECIALLY FOR OPEN TRACKING AND AUTO-X


Why don’t you recommend Cross Drilled Rotors?
Because they tend to crack over time when subject to heavy use. Most companies including Baer, Stoptech, AP Racing DO NOT recommend CROSS DRILLED ROTORS for track use. We offer it as an option BUT ONLY recommend it to customers who’s cars do not see much track duty. They also offer less braking surface than slotted rotors which means less braking power.

Why do you have Slotted/ Dimpled Rotors?
The main reason we offer Slotted/dimpled rotors is because they offer the desired look of cross drilled rotors for many customers without having the issues of cracking. This is a “compromise” option to have for those who like the cross drilled look without having to go with cross drilled rotors.

**************************************** ****************
Do the rotors stay black or gold?
The black and gold coating is a special zinc coating to prevent the rotors from rusting. The colored zinc where the brake pad meets the rotor will be gone after driving about 50 miles while the rest of the rotor remains protected with zinc.






Here is the picture of the rotor AFTER about 50 miles of braking. The Black zinc coating will wear out on the surface where the pads meet.

Are the slotted rotors exact OEM replacements for the non Z51 and nonZ06 models? Is the hub black and rust proof? Can the zinc become pitted in non-winter driving (north) from humidity and southern rain?

Thanks. I am interesting in upgrading the stock rotors on my 2005 61K miles vert. i have alrady converted the brake pads to ceramic with successful elimination of brake dust.

Thanks

Mike

They are exact replacements for the OEM rotors. The entire rotor is black zinc coated. As seen from the rotor up top the zinc where the pad hits will be worn on out after some miles. I have not had anyone complain about the zinc being pitted from rain or moisture.

You will be very happy with a set of our rotors.

I am almost ready to pull the trigger...

Question, what difference does the stainless steel brake lines offer??

Is the difference noticeable, any pro's or con's?

If I did the rotors,pads and lines, would there be a noticeable difference in performance as I know visually it will look sweet..

Last thing I am considering is powdercoating the calipers at the same time..

thanks for the info..

Yes we have them available also... we just need to know exactly what year vehicle and options you have and we can get a set made for you. We have the rotors for all year cars but sell 70% Corvette 25% Mustang and 5% the rest

The price is $239.99 and you just need to let me know which style you would like and we can get it ordered for you.
