TPS Motorsports from day one has always been about bringing the best value and service to our customers as possible. We are now proud to roll out our line of slotted and slotted/dimpled rotors. These rotors are made by Centric, which is the parent company of Stoptech and are a very high quality rotor. Our rotors are FAR superior than lower priced “eBay” rotors. We have tested our rotors on customers street and open track vehicles.

Which Rotor is right for me?
One question which is always asked of me is which type of brake rotor is better.. slotted or cross drilled? Before answering this question we need to ask.. what type of driving do you do? If it is mostly a street car, then cross drilled rotors will be fine. Cross Drilled rotors main benefit is they look great and do offer some heat dissipation and a wiping effect of the pads when wet. The main disadvantages for cross-drilled rotors is they have a history of playing connect the dots.. cracking. If you are very hard on your brakes or take your car to the track I would suggest slotted rotors. Slotted Rotors on the other hand offer great heat dissipation. Better braking than cross-drilled because of increase braking surface over a cross drilled unit. Generally a solid rotor is 100% material touching the pad, slotted is about 92% and drilled is 85%. More braking surface means better braking power. SLOTTED ROTORS IS WHAT WE RECOMMEND FOR MOST CARS ESPECIALLY FOR OPEN TRACKING AND AUTO-X

Why do you have Slotted/ Dimpled Rotors?
The main reason we offer Slotted/dimpled rotors is because they offer the desired look of cross drilled rotors for many customers without having the issues of cracking. This is a “compromise” option to have for those who like the cross drilled look without having to go with cross drilled rotors.

Why don’t you recommend Cross Drilled Rotors?
Because they tend to crack over time when subject to heavy use. Most companies including Baer, Stoptech, AP Racing DO NOT recommend CROSS DRILLED ROTORS for track use. We offer it as an option BUT ONLY recommend it to customers who’s cars do not see much track duty. They also offer less braking surface than slotted rotors which means less braking power.

Why are your rotors black?
The black coating is a special zinc coating to prevent the rotors from rusting. The black where the brake pad meets the rotor will be gone after driving about 50 miles while the rest of the rotor remains protected with zinc.

Here is the picture of the rotor AFTER about 10 miles of braking. The Black zinc coating will wear out on the surface where the pads meet.

Who does the machining? I see that the rotors are Centric OEM replacements, correct?

The rotors are machined by a company we use that specializes in automotive machining. And yes the rotors are made by Centric which makes excellent rotors and owns Stoptech

You answered the question with another question.

What is the name of the specialty automotive machining company that you use to drill these rotors?

I understand. That's a shame.:look:


How is that a shame? There are alot of companies who are not known to the general public because they only deal with the manufacturing side and do not care to be known. Baer does not slot or drill their own rotors and do not even tell their resellers. Saleen, Kenne Bell, Whipple, Ford, etc... will ALSO not tell you who manufacturers the parts for them so is that a "Shame" on them also?:asshat:

I apologize, my mistake, I assumed you were only an install shop, and retailer. I didn't know you actually fabricated your own parts and did extensive testing and research on these parts on all applications they are approved for use on...unless you don't. In that case I don't think it's fair you clump your name in with those if that's what you imply.

Either way, I'm sure people, myself included, just want to know how safe and reliable these rotors are. Centric makes the rotors, but they don't drill them, your shop does. So just want to make sure they're safe since you use the best parts available. Your name isn't as known as theirs are.

I can understand your concerns regarding the safety of our rotors as there are alot of rotors on the market which are not very safe. That is why we start the process with using Centric rotors which are some of the best on aftermarket stock type rotors on the market. We're not interested in trying to have the cheapest rotors on the market and giving life time warranties on them which some companies do. We take our customer's safety VERY seriously and would not jeopardize them to try to make or save a few dollars. We don't try and sell every rotor for every car... we specialize in Mustangs and Corvettes and have sold 100's of sets to customers who open track, auto-x, and use them in extreme performance driving situations including the Texas Mile. If you decide to give our rotors a try I'm sure you'll be very happy with the quality.
