Product Line Details: StopTech Select Sport Cross-Drilled & Slotted Disc Brake Rotors

The StopTech Select Sport Cross-Drilled & Slotted Disc Brake Rotors line is designed to provide enhanced braking performance through improved heat management and surface friction. The combination of cross-drilled holes and precision slots helps to evacuate gases, dust, and water from the rotor surface, which is critical for maintaining consistent brake pad contact and reducing fade during spirited driving or demanding conditions. This product line focuses on vented rotors that optimize airflow with pillar-style vanes, contributing to better thermal regulation and rotor longevity.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor features a vented design with pillar-style vanes that promote efficient heat dissipation. The rotor’s overall height measures 1.906 inches (48.4 mm), and it includes a center hole diameter of 2.783 inches (70.7 mm) to ensure proper hub fitment. The rotor is designed with five stud/lug holes, each 0.531 inches (13.5 mm) in diameter, arranged on a 4.748 inch (120.6 mm) bolt circle diameter. The nominal drum diameter is 7.484 inches (190.1 mm), with a maximum permissible drum diameter of 7.496 inches (190.4 mm). This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring or bearings, so those components must be sourced separately if required.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Cadillac Corvette and Chevrolet XLR
• Improves brake cooling to reduce fade during aggressive driving
• Helps eliminate brake noise and vibration caused by uneven rotor surfaces
