• Counter-sunk holes that help resist stress risers and cracking, enhancing rotor durability under demanding conditions.
• Corrosion-resistant gold zinc plating that protects against rust and corrosion, extending the lifespan of the rotor in harsh weather environments.
• Enhanced wet weather braking capabilities, ensuring consistent performance in rainy or humid conditions.

Construction & Design

The PowerStop JBR1520 rotor features a robust construction utilizing high-quality materials to withstand the rigors of daily driving and spirited braking. The rotor's surface is precisely machined to ensure a smooth, flat contact area with brake pads, promoting even wear and optimal braking response. The use of Tru-Cast casting technology guarantees an exact OE fit, reducing vibrations and noise during braking.

The oversized drill holes are strategically placed to facilitate better heat dissipation, which helps prevent brake fade during extended use. The counter-sunk design of these holes minimizes stress risers, reducing the risk of cracking and ensuring long-term reliability. Additionally, the gold zinc plating provides excellent corrosion resistance, maintaining the rotor's appearance and performance over time, even in harsh weather conditions.
