Brake rotors used to be only a blank disc which basically is used to bring a vehicle to a stop. With technological advancement in the manufacturing industry, a diamond slotted pattern was created for rotors to increase their braking capabilities. These improve wet weather braking, safety and reliability as well as increased brake pad bite to the rotor. If you are looking to improve your braking performance you should consider our diamond slotted rotor next time when it is time for your brakes to be replaced.

It is important to break-in (or bed-in) rotors and pads properly. Not doing so can cause long term damage to the rotors and cause poor braking performance. In general, brake pads and rotors should bond with each other to provide proper braking performance. The purpose of the break-in procedure is to condition the pad/rotor outer contact surface area. On most pads used, more or less pad material is transferred onto the disc surface area as a thin padded film. Some pad compounds need to be heated to work properly as well. If the proper break-in procedure is not done, uneven pad material deposits can cause excessive noise and vibrations under braking.  Uneven wear can also happen too, which can have an effect on the life span of the rotor and pad.
