Affordable Bolt-On
SP PERFORMANCE® offers a high quality line of
performance brake rotors available as Cross-Drilled, Slotted or
Cross-Drilled and Slotted, designed to improve the braking system
through “bolt-on" methods. Advanced race car technology that can be
easily installed without any extensive modifications. An inexpensive
way of improving performance, reliability, safety, and looks.
At
SP PERFORMANCE®
our methodic processing begins by selecting only
the finest aftermarket or OEM rotors. Each individual rotor
structure is carefully studied and analyzed and an application
specific pattern is determined utilizing the latest CAD design
techniques. The rotors are then precision machined to within strict
tolerances using CNC machines, ensuring the highest quality and
reliability. |
 |
|
The constant heating and cooling of the
brake rotor can cause heat checking. The sharp
edges on the hole or countersink creates a stress point, increasing
the possibility of a crack
formation.
|
SP Drilled and Slotted Rotors are a unique design
offering the best combination of cooling and
out-gassing. In fact, our design is so unique we would
like to go over some of the details. The first thing we will point
out on the drilled rotor is the chamfer. Unlike our competition
there is no edge on our chamfer. This is accomplished by the use of
an outer radius curve rather than a countersink. With the radius
curve, or "Sinusoid Curve", it virtually eliminates an edge on the
surface of the hole. With no edge, there is less stress build up,
thus reducing the chance of surface checking. This smooth surface
also makes the rotor more pad friendly by reducing the wear of the
pad caused by the friction scraping against a sharp edge.
With SP Performance®
Slotted rotors, you will feel the difference.
Its series of
slots wipe the surface of the rotor forcing the gases to expel
through the slots. The slots also greatly improve wet weather
braking by preventing hydroplaning between the pad and rotor.
The slots on SP Performance® rotors are machined to the minimum
thickness. This is done to insure that the rotor strength is not
compromised, keeping safety and reliability in mind for virtually
all automotive cars and trucks.
This is a bolt-on, hassle free
way to greatly improve your stopping performance
|
Straight Drilled
Hole ------------------->
A high stress and heat build up
area forms at the intersection of the rotor and drilled
edge. |
 |
Countersunk
Hole ----------------------->
Countersinking increases the external surface area of
the hole, thus reducing heat, but still contains edges prone to
stress and heat build up. |
 |
Radius Hole
-------------------------------->
The Radius Chamfer increases the hole cooling area thus
reducing heat, but still contains sharp
edges. |
 |
SP* Sinusoidal Curved and Chamfered
Hole
----------------------->
Absolutely no sharp edges.
The smooth design promotes cooling and minimizes stress, reducing
the possibility of heat checking while increasing both rotor and pad
life.
*The Sinus-Curve is an example of a design inspired by
mathematical principles. SP Performance® brings you this unique
product in which geometry and art are united to provide the ultimate
in performance and style.

The brake
system on a car or truck works by converting kinetic energy into
heat energy. The friction between the brake pads and rotor creates
heat, but when brakes get too hot bad things can happen. The
most dangerous thing about hot brakes is the decrease in braking
power known as “brake fade”.
However, heat is a normal product of the
braking system. The problem is, too much heat, for every increase of
100 degrees over the normal operating temperature, brake wear
doubles. The longer brakes stay at high temperatures, the more
wear they experience. Also, at high braking temperatures, a gas is
expelled by the brake pads, (known as "out-gassing"), which forms a
barrier between the pad and rotor. The out-gassing effectively
pushes the pad away from the rotor reducing brake
efficiency.
SP Performance® rotors
provide the best solution by considerably decreasing brake
temperatures and increasing brake pad to rotor contact by effectively reducing brake pad
out gassing. |
Application(s): Street or Race
use |
Slotted
Only
We
recommend slotted only rotors in any extreme service
application. These would include racing, autocross, larger
trucks and SUV's, and vehicles that exhibit chronic brake
problems.
The nature of the slotted only rotor gives the
greatest amount of braking surface, helps keep the pads clean,
and increases initial brake 'bite'.
Note: Due to the nature of slotted rotors- a slight hum or
whirring sound may be evident under heavy braking. |
Application(s):
Street Performance |
Cross
Drilled Only
Recommended for street applications. Because
of the SP inverted radius chamfer - and without the slotting - these
rotors will allow for greater cooling than stock
rotors.

Application(s):
Street Performance |
Cross Drilled &
Slotted
Recommended for street performance applications.
Because of the SP inverted radius chamfer - and with the slotting -
these rotors will allow for greater cooling than stock rotors.
Slotting privides additional brake 'bite'.
Note: Due
to the nature of slotted rotors- a slight hum or whirring sound may
be evident under heavy braking. |
Application(s): Street Performance |
Diamond
Slotted
Recommended
for street performance applications. Slotted
rotors with a unique diamond etching pattern.
Slotting provides
increased brake 'bite' and helps keep pads clean.
Diamond etching gives the effect of
Cross-Drilled without any danger of
cracking.
Note: Due to the nature of slotted rotors- a slight hum or
whirring sound may be evident under heavy
braking.
