Q: What should I consider when buying brake rotors?Ī: Smooth rotors: Smooth rotors are the most common type as it's what most original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, use on their vehicles. You also need to be aware that drilled holes do compromise structural integrity of the rotors. While Power Stop does offer performance kits for a wide range of applications, including trucks, the Z26 package is available to a limited number of vehicles. As far as performance pad and rotors go, this is also one of the most affordable options. The kit includes carbon-fiber ceramic pads to further boost high-speed braking performance while keeping dust low. The set includes front and rear drilled and slotted rotors that keep the brakes cool under hard driving and offers maximum consistency of pad performance. If you're looking for an all-in-one bundle to simplify upgrading your car, Power Stop's Z26 pad and rotor kit has your name all over it. And though the design implements some features to cut down on noise, it doesn't change the fact that these rotors generate wind noise that smooth rotors will not. The price is a major downside for these rotors, considering the minimal gains they offer to street applications under most conditions. Promoting even pad wear and consistent braking throughout the life of the pads are just more ways this design sweetens the pot. These have the added benefits of reducing noise and avoiding brake fade under load and heavy braking. As for what really matters, these are slotted and dimpled rotors that use wider slots to keep the brakes cooler while dimpling instead of drilling avoids cracks. There are performance gains to be had, but it's hard to deny the aesthetic appeal of these sporty, black rotors. Swapping in some EBC rotors is one of the first things many vehicle owners will do.
