Construction & Design

The PowerStop SC2781 rotors feature a vented, slotted design that promotes efficient heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade during demanding driving conditions. The semi-coated surface involves a protective layer that guards against rust and corrosion, especially important for vehicles exposed to moisture, road salt, or harsh climates. These rotors are precision-machined to ensure a smooth, balanced surface for optimal pad contact and quiet operation.

Manufactured from high-quality cast iron, the rotors are engineered for strength and longevity. The vented design enhances airflow between the rotor and pad, helping to maintain consistent braking performance even under high-stress conditions. The OE-style design guarantees a direct fit, making installation straightforward for DIY enthusiasts and professional technicians alike.

Performance & Sound

While specific performance numbers are not provided, these rotors are designed to improve braking response and reduce brake fade compared to worn or standard rotors. The vented and slotted features help manage heat buildup, ensuring consistent stopping power during spirited driving or extended use. The semi-coated surface minimizes rust formation, maintaining a clean appearance and reliable operation over time.
