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.

Who else would like to upgrade their brake system? Here's a customer's email I just received who just installed the TPS Stage 2 Brake Upgrade Package which includes these rotors.

"Hi Mike
Had a chance to install the brakes (slotted rotors, hawk pads, stainless lines and Motul brake fluid) on my C5 last week, and after bedding them in took a cruise over the weekend. I am VERY happy with the performance! Much more stable pedal, much more predictable, and much easier to modulate before ABS kicks in. I took a 41 mile route that had many elevation changes, and lots of tight corners. The pavement was mostly dry, but there were some wet spots and the occaisional wet leaf deposit. The biggest thing I noticed about the brakes is that I didn't notice them, if that makes any sense. I was able to dive into the corners hard and concentrate on getting out again, with no real drama anywhere. The best part was that they were the same at the end as they were at the beginning. Made it real easy to drive.
Thanks for your recommendation, the quick delivery and most of all, the great product.
So who needs some new rotors? We just upgraded ALL our rotors for the C5 and Base C6 (non-z51 and Z06) so now they will ALL have directional cooling vanes! Directional cooling vanes help with the extraction of heat for the rotors and help reduce brake fade and extend rotor life
So who needs some new rotors? These are the best rotors you can get for your money. Better than eBay rotors as these units have the correct cooling vanes for maximum cooling on your rotors.
So who need some brakes? Our rotors have the directional cooling vanes unlike other lower priced rotors on the market to help keep rotor temps down? Available in Slotted, cross drilled slotted, dimpled and 3 different zinc colors (gold, silver, black)! Prices start at just $219.99 a set shipped to your door!
