What is the benefit of drilled and slotted rotors over standard rotors?

Drilled holes help dissipate heat more effectively, reducing the chance of brake fade during heavy use. The slots help to sweep away brake dust and moisture, keeping the rotor surface clean for better pad contact and consistent stopping power.

Do these rotors come with any hardware or are they sold as a pair?

These rotors are sold as a pair, meaning you receive two rotors for the front of your vehicle. They are designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for your original equipment rotors.

How does the zinc plating help these rotors?

The silver zinc dichromate plating provides protection against rust and corrosion. This helps maintain the appearance of the rotors and ensures their longevity, especially in areas exposed to moisture or road salt.

Product Details

If you're looking to get more out of your 2002-2005 Ford Explorer's braking system, especially when pushing it a bit harder, these PowerStop Evolution drilled and slotted rotors are a solid option. They're designed to replace your stock front rotors directly, meaning no special modifications are needed to install them. The cross-drilled holes help dissipate heat more effectively, which is crucial for maintaining consistent stopping power during demanding use. The rounded slots are there to sweep away brake dust and moisture, ensuring a cleaner surface for the brake pads to grip.

These rotors are built to strict tolerances for runout and disc thickness variation, aiming for smooth, quiet operation. The drill holes are chamfered and the slots are rounded to help prevent stress cracks from forming over time. They come with a silver zinc dichromate plating that resists rust and corrosion, keeping them looking good and functioning well. Plus, the weight and vane count are designed to match your original equipment, so you know they're built to work with your Explorer's braking system.

This pair of rotors is sold as a direct bolt-on upgrade, making it a straightforward way to improve your braking performance. They are dynamically mill balanced to ensure they run true right out of the box.
