Premium Rotors

SportStop Rotors

Better than stock rotors!  Centric Premium rotors are identical in dimensions and internal vane design to the factory originals.  During assembly, rotors are straddle cut for the most accurate machining, then double disc ground for optimum parallelism, minimal runout, and near zero thickness variation.  A non-directional finish is applied for better initial pad bedding.  All surfaces, including the hat, are machined and non-swept surfaces are electrostatically coated with a durable, black finish (unless noted otherwise below) for corrosion protection and good looks.  Finally, all rotors are computer mill balanced to incredibly tight tolerances.  You won't find a better replacement rotor anywhere.  Click here for more details.  (Note: Centric is the parent company of StopTech and PowerSlot.  All StopTech SportStop and Power Slot rotors start as Centric Premium blanks and are machined in-house on computer controlled milling machines.)

StopTech SportStop rotors are available for many applications, offering all the advantages of Centric Premium rotors, with the addition of slotting and/or drilling.  Slotted rotors provide additional bite and maintain consistent friction level over the life of your pads.  These are ideal for aggressive street and even road racing applications.  Slotted and drilled rotors offer even more bite and stunning looks, but should be used on the street and not for racing.  If you prefer slotted or slotted and drilled rotors and there is no pricing listed below, send an inquiry to orders@zeckhausen.com and we can let you know if they are available.  Make sure you install them properly.  See: How to Properly Install Plain, Slotted or Drilled Rotors

To obtain more information about any rotor, you may click on the part number (if a link is present) to see more details, including rotor drawings, recommended replacement thickness, critical dimensions, and weight.  Note:  The term "floating" in the rotor description does not mean two-piece, floating rotor.  It is Centric's terminology for a rotor that can be removed without also removing the car's wheel bearings or hubs.

High-Performance Brake Pads

If you want better brake pads for the street, consider Axxis.  Axxis pads are manufactured by Bendix Mintex (FMP Group Pty. Ltd.) in Australia.  Formerly marketed under the brand names PBR and Repco, they are now sold in the United States under the Axxis name.

1984-1987 Corvette

Hawk HPS high performance street pads have low dust, low noise, and low rotor wear.  Slightly higher in friction level than Hawk Ceramic pads with a similar MOT of around 750°F.  Not recommended for track use, as their friction level falls off rapidly when the MOT is exceeded.

Hawk HP PLUS high performance street pads have moderate dust, moderate rotor wear, very high initial bite and similar MOT to Hawk HPS of around 750°F.  They tend to be noisy, sometimes squealing under light braking, although proper bedding can help.  Ideal for autocross.  Not recommended for track use, as their friction level falls off rapidly when MOT is exceeded, just like the Hawk HPS.

Axxis ULT street pads pads (formerly called Axxis Ultimate) use a Kevlar® and ceramic formula for enhanced performance.  They produce maximum friction when cold, yet have tremendous fade resistance up to 932 °F. The coefficient of friction is high enough to produce a noticeable reduction in pedal effort. Fine for autocross or your first track event, assuming street tires and a low horsepower car.  This is Zeckhausen Racing's favorite high performance street pad.

Centric Posi Quiet Semi-Metallic pads offer a high friction level across a wide temperature range. Very low dust, low noise w/OE designed composite shims to reduce pad vibration and squeal.  Easy on rotors.  Better performance than typical low-dust pads.  Give up the dust without giving up the performance.

Hawk HT-10 Race pads have good modulation and release characteristics, making them ideal for the "weekend warrior."  Moderate rotor wear, moderate dust, a stable torque curve, above average bite, and a MOT of 1,400°F.  Recommended for the front of front-engine cars for casual track use, as well as for the rear of club race and professional race cars.

Hawk DTC-60 is a member of the "Dynamic Torque Control" race pad family with similar characteristics to DTC-70, but less initial bite, slightly lower friction and an optimal temperature range starting 100 degrees F lower.  An ideal rear pad, when used with DTC-70 in front, for racers who prefer split friction levels.  May be used in front on lower horsepower cars or on cold days when DTC-70 can't be heated sufficiently.  Relatively low rotor and pad wear.

63-470-0413

Hawk DTC-70 is the most serious member of the "Dynamic Torque Control" race pad family, with an average level of friction among the highest available and an incredibly linear pressure to torque relationship. The result gives the driver an unparalleled ability to modulate brake torque at the limit of tire adhesion, while keeping pedal effort low.  Relatively low rotor and pad wear for such an aggressive pad.

PFC 01 Race pads have very high average torque output, rising over its operating temperature range, and a MOT of 2000°F.  Excellent bite, low rotor wear, and average pad wear.  Novice drivers may find this pad challenging to modulate.  Pad of choice for top race teams and our favorite due to overwhelming positive feedback and few complaints of judder.  Frequently used in the front of front engine cars with PFC 97 in the rear.

63-660-0412

For front calipers only

PFC 97 Race pads have medium to high average torque output, a very flat torque output over its operating temperature range and a MOT of 2000°F.  Exceptionally low pad and rotor wear and excellent modulation and release characteristics.  Popular for the front of front engine cars driven at lapping and open track days.  Often used on the rear of club and pro-level race cars with PFC 01 in front.

Performance, All-Season, and Winter Tires

Besides brakes, tires are the most important component in determining stopping distance.  It's literally where the rubber meets the road.  Selecting the right tire for your driving conditions can make a tremendous difference.  For example, if you live in Florida or southern California and are driving on all-season tires, you are leaving huge performance gains on the table!  A good set of summer-only performance tires can literally transform the handling and braking capabilities of your car.  In fact, if your goal is to minimize stopping distance, you're better off going to Tire Rack's web site and buying tires first, before spending any money here on better brakes!

For the best selection and prices, use the Tire Decision Guide by Tire Rack.  Select the appropriate model year, then click the Go button.  You'll be asked a couple of questions which will help narrow down your tire choices to the select few which most closely match your driving needs.  From Maximum Performance tires to All Season tires to Snow Tires, Tire Rack has it all.  The Tire Decision Guide takes the guesswork out of buying tires for your car.
