   ROTOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS & BREAK IN PROCEDURE **PLEASE READ BEFORE USING THIS PART**

  • Do not turn or machine this rotor prior to installation.

  • Do not use impact wrenches under any circumstances.

  • New brake pads must be used when installing POWER STOP rotors. Recommended pads compatible for use with POWER STOP rotors are REPCO/AXXIS "Metal Master" for imports, and POWER STOP "9-1-1 Extreme Performance" for domestic vehicles.

  • Use a reputable service manual and follow the regular brake replacement procedures.

  • Remove the caliper assembly without disconnecting hydraulic brake lines if possible. Examine caliper for leaks, seized pistons, broken dust boots, rust etc. and replace or repair if necessary. Otherwise, suspend caliper from frame or vehicle with wire or hook. Take extra care not to stain hydraulic crossover line. Remove any rust or dust from the caliper using a wire brush being careful not to damage piston or rubber boot. Clean all brake parts with a safe solvent.

  • POWER STOP rotors are unidirectional. Be sure to check the last initial of the part number (L or R) to determine left or right.

  • POWER STOP recommends that you flush your brake fluid and bleed the entire system with a high grade DOT 4 or better fluid.

  • Depress the brake pedal several times before driving the vehicle. This will properly position the brake pads and establish the pedal height. Some vehicles may have a very low pedal until pads become completely seated. After determining the installation was correctly and safely carried out, test-drive the vehicle. During testing make several stops at safe speeds to be sure that the system is correctly installed and working properly.

  • Avoid excessive or high speed braking until the brake pads and POWER STOP rotors seat in. This will take approximately 200-500 miles.   NOT FOLLOWING BREAK IN PROCEDURES WILL SEVERELY AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE POWER STOP SYSTEM.

  • Remember your brakes are the most crucial component of your car. Regular inspections are essential for continued safety.

  • Under heavy braking conditions a slight whirring noise might be detectable. A solid brake disk may produce more noise than a vented brake rotor. This noise is normal.

  • Please remember that your brake system should not be taken lightly. It is the most important component of your car. If you are unclear about any part of the installation, please consult a certified mechanic. Your safety depends on the proper functioning of the brake system.

  • Cross-drilled rotors are a performance upgrade part. Under normal and spirited driving they should out perform your car's factory brakes. But as with any brake system, abusive driving will result in premature pad and rotor wear. POWER STOP can only be responsible for factory defects in the rotors.


POWER STOP ROTORS ARE FOR STREET AND RECREATIONAL OFF ROAD USE ONLY. THEY ARE NOT DESIGNED OR APPROVED FOR OFF ROAD RACING OR COMPETITION DRIVING.
