Construction & Design:

These rotors are crafted from high-quality cast iron to provide excellent heat dissipation and durability under demanding conditions. The semi coated design features a silver epoxy finish applied strategically to areas most susceptible to corrosion, including the rotor hat, outer edge, and cooling vanes. This coating not only extends the rotor’s lifespan but also preserves its appearance, especially when paired with alloy wheels that expose the braking components.

PowerStop’s manufacturing process ensures tight tolerances in thickness and runout, reducing brake judder and noise while promoting even pad wear. The cross-hatched friction surface enhances pad bedding, contributing to consistent braking performance from the first stop.

Installation & Fitment:

Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement, the PowerStop Semi Coated Rotor installs easily using standard tools with no modifications required. It matches the original equipment’s weight, vane count, and dimensions to ensure perfect compatibility with factory brake components. This rotor fits the front brakes of numerous Chevrolet, GMC, and Dodge models, including K1500 Suburban, K2500, K2500 Suburban, K3500, and Dodge Ram 2500 trucks from model years 1988 through 2000.
