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

Drilled holes help dissipate heat more effectively, which can prevent brake fade during hard braking. The slots help to clear away brake dust and moisture, maintaining a cleaner contact patch between the pad and rotor for more consistent performance.

Do these rotors come with any hardware?

This product includes a pair of rotors. Hardware such as lug nuts or brake pads are typically sold separately. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for a complete list of included components.

How do I maintain these rotors to prevent rust?

The rotors feature a silver zinc dichromate plating for corrosion resistance. While this plating offers protection, it's a good practice to keep the rotors clean and dry when possible. Some light surface rust may appear after exposure to moisture, but it should typically wear off with normal braking.

Product Details

If you're looking to get more out of your Saab 9-3's braking system, especially when pushing it a bit harder, these PowerStop Evolution rotors are a solid choice. 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, which is crucial for maintaining consistent stopping power during demanding use, while the rounded slots work to sweep away brake dust and moisture, keeping the rotor surface clean for better contact.

These rotors are built to strict tolerances for both DTV (disc thickness variation) and runout, which helps ensure a smooth and quiet ride without the pulsing you can sometimes feel with less precisely made rotors. The silver zinc dichromate plating is a nice touch, offering good protection against rust and corrosion, especially in areas where road salt is common. They are also dynamically mill balanced to match the original equipment's balance, which is important for preventing vibrations at speed.

You'll get a pair of these rotors, and they're designed to be a direct bolt-on replacement for your 2003-2011 Saab 9-3. This makes them an accessible upgrade for improving your car's braking performance and appearance.
