Description
Frozen Rotors Slotted brake rotors feature precision CNC-machined slots designed to improve braking performance, enhance brake pad contact, and deliver more consistent stopping power. Available as an upgrade for most Frozen Rotors applications, this option is ideal for performance vehicles and drivers who demand dependable braking under demanding conditions.
Each rotor is slotted on a CNC machining center to ensure precision and balance. The slots are machined to the rotor's discard depth, serving as a visual wear indicator. When the slots are no longer visible, the rotor has reached its replacement point.
The slot design helps release gases that accumulate between the brake pads and rotor surface, reducing brake fade and improving braking bite. It also helps clean and refresh the pad contact surface while channeling water away from the braking surface for improved wet-weather braking.
Frozen Rotors Slotted rotors are an excellent upgrade for performance driving and demanding vehicle use, including applications involving heavy loads or trailer towing.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Precision CNC-Machined Slots: Ensure accurate and balanced rotor slotting.
-
Improved Brake Bite: Helps maintain effective contact between the brake pads and rotor.
-
Reduced Brake Fade: Allows gases to escape from the pad-to-rotor interface.
-
Pad Surface Cleaning: Helps clean and refresh the brake pad contact surface.
-
Improved Wet-Weather Braking: Channels water away from the braking surface.
-
Built-In Wear Indicator: Slots are machined to the rotor's discard depth; when they disappear, the rotor needs replacement.
-
Enhanced Appearance: Adds a performance-inspired look to your braking system.
