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 for Stock Calipers

Centric Posi Quiet Extended Wear pads offer a stable friction level across a wide temperature range. Low dust, long pad & rotor life, low noise, w/OE designed shims to reduce pad vibration and squeal.  Not a track pad.

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 SuperDuty pads are designed for heavy-duty trucks, large SUVs and pickups. They utilize a blend of organic, carbon fiber, and ceramic materials to perform well in severe applications, including towing.  Trades off slightly increased dust level for higher friction and fade resistance.

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.

Replacement Brake Pads for Mov'it Equipped Impala SS

From early 1998 to 2002, Mov'it of Germany sold a big brake kit for the Impala SS, based on Porsche 993 Turbo front and rear calipers.  Front rotors are 322mm x 32mm from the 993 Turbo and rear rotors are 328mm x 28mm Brembos. (The factory Porsche rear rotors did not clear the Impala's parking brake.) 

If your Impala is equipped with a Mov'it system, it's likely that you will need replacement pads soon.  Zeckhausen Racing now carries street pads to fit the Mov'it front and rear system.

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.

Axxis Deluxe Advanced street pads (formerly called Deluxe Plus) are ideal if you are looking for a low dust pad that is quiet and rotor friendly, yet has enough fade resistance for performance cars.  These ceramic-enhanced organic pads work well up to 716 °F, similar to OEM pads.  Stop washing brake dust off your wheels every few days!  These are by far our most popular street pads.

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.
