Re: PowerSlots !!! (Ellinaras)
I put them on my Grand Am after the factory replaced the warping factory rotors 3 times. They stop very well, but they are somewhat noisy and will wear the pads down faster than normal. They did not warp, unlike the factory ones. I liked it for the GA, but not sure if I would put them on the vette.

Re: PowerSlots !!! (TeamSpeed)
I have them for over 60K miles no problems and they don't wear the pads any faster than anything else. Noise is created by the pad not the rotor. I have hawk HPS pads.

Re: PowerSlots !!! (gonbad)
I'm somewhat biased (we sell lots of Powerslot) but I have used them on the street and on the track under heavy use and they seem to be much better quality than most of the OEM rotors I have used that seem to go away quickly. I'm still using the same set of rear rotors since last track season and they look great.
Give us a peek if you are curious:

Re: PowerSlots !!! (Ellinaras)
I've used them with the Hawk HPS pads on my Z06 ... very pleased with the performance. Pads produce a fair amount of dust, and I think the slots act like a cheese grater on the pads, wearing them faster than a stock flat rotor, but overall I have no complaints about this combination.
I'm switching back to the OEM rotors, though, but only because I run the car on road courses and the cost of replacing the Powerslot rotors is becoming an issue in the family budget.
Enjoy, you've made a good choice.

Re: PowerSlots !!! (BlackZ06)
The Powerslots are awesome. Noticable difference over the OEM rotors for me. Do seem to get more brake dust with them, but it's worth it. I bought mine from c5store.com for $400 for the set. Almost 1/2 the price of Eradispeeds, don't look quite as cool, but stop just as well, and won't crack. :cheers:

Re: PowerSlots !!! (Ellinaras)
I had warped front rotors and replaced all four with the Powerslots.
Most of the drilled rotors are not stress relieved prior to machining and the holes will crack.
I bought some "performance pads" from NAPA made in Canada.
They look metallic, I don't know what they are.
At first the set up was a little sticky at the end of a stop. This condition has now gone away.
The pad rotor combo works great, 100% improvement over stock.
I'm not real **** about my car and don't pay much attention to brake dust.
There seemed to be a little dust at first but not much now.
The zink plating looks nice on the rotors and seems to stay very clean.
