Power Slots Warped from Factory?
I am in the middle of changing out my pads and rotors to stop pulsation. I bought Power Slot Cryo painted rotors and Hawk HPS pads.
I just put on the new rotor and bolted on the caliper bracket. The rotor will only make a half revolution before hitting the caliper bracket!!! I took it off and put the old rotor back on and there was no issue.
If you spin the rotor (with the bracket off) you can see over 1/4" of movement side to side. It looks like a dado blade on a table saw! I tried the other front Power Slot rotor and witnessed the same.
Is there something stupid that I am doing or is this a common issue with the cryo process?
Thanks!

Are the new rotors seating on the hubs correctly? There could be a problem with the centering of the holes for the lug bolts and hub. Not sure how they make the rotors but they are probably cast. Maybe something in the cast shifted.

What a pain in the butt.
