Price Paid:  $270.00 from Buybrakes.com

2005 Suburban K2500

Strengths:
None

Weaknesses:
Rotors hammered after 20K miles. Good luck trying to find someone to cut them too.

Summary:
Bought these rotors so I wouldn't have to replace/cut the rotors like I always did with the stock GM parts after 20K miles. No difference. I had almost exactly 20K miles on these Power Slot rotors and a set of Hawk pads and the pulsation was brutal. Took the rotors off and they were scuffed beyond belief. I didn't even tow that much either over the past 20K miles. I know this is a very heavy truck (Almost 7,000 lbs) but I expected to get more than the stock GM rotors/pads and I didn't. Besides the $270 for rotors I have almost $100 in the Hawk pads. Don't waste your money

Strengths:
Smooth and consistent braking. Minimal brake dust. After 8k of mostly city interstate driving zero normal wear grooves.

Summary:
Replaced along with Akebono ceramic pads and it's been a great match.

Used Brembo forever and these are more expensive but the cost appears to be worth it.

Strengths:
Smooth operation at high temperature. Affordable and good looks over OEM.

Weaknesses:
About a quater of an inch of pad will protrude from the caliper from the relocation bracket, not full contact pattern between pad and rotor. Continueous high temp will result in brake fading...

Summary:
I purchased the powerslot plus brake upgrade. This product relocates the caliper to accomidate a larger rotor. I am a spirited driver and have used these brakes from soft daily driving to harsh auto-cross style braking.

Strengths:
Nothing noteable.

Weaknesses:
Wore out way too fast. Developed pulsation. Don't waste your money.

Summary:
Only lasted 40K. The tire center said the "power slot" rotors were worn to the point of un-turnable and need to be replaced. Maybe I'm old school, but I have never had to replace rotors this soon. None of the driving was off-road or agressive at all.

Strengths:
looks

Weaknesses:
brake fade with minimal repetition and they warped in 16000km's!!!!

Summary:
I purchase these from a local performance store. I had wanted to try some sloted and cross drilled rotors to increase the stock performance. He told me that powerslot would be a good product would go with, because they will last a long time and they will not warp like the OEM. so I did some research and went with the powerslots.

had the fronts installed with green EBC brakes and in less than a year 16000km they are warped!!! the stock brakes and rotors lasted 30000km's we do 60% city driving with my wife doing a lot of the km's and we are not hard on the brakes. I am shocked!!!

I didn't notice any real difference in the braking with low speeds but I did at high speeds vs the stock set-up.

well needless to say I WON"T be going with prouduct ever again....
