Hawk Performance庐, the global leader in disc brake friction technology, is proud to announce the all-new Quiet Slot鈩 rotor.聽 Quiet Slot鈩 rotors are engineered specifically for automotive car and truck enthusiasts looking for high performance braking without the noise, dust and reliability issues commonly seen in heavily slotted, dimpled or cross-drilled aftermarket rotors.
Some of the key features of the all-new Quiet Slot鈩 rotors are the advanced metallurgy, surface finish, and progressive structural & aerodynamic design. 鈥淥ur goal was simple, retain the stopping power and appearance of a performance rotor, but improve the weaknesses experienced with today鈥檚 aftermarket rotors. Common issues include thermal cracking, structural distortion, dust output and brake noise鈥, stated Carl Harbert (Director of Marketing).聽 鈥淲e truly achieved all of our objectives with the Quiet Slot鈩 rotor.聽 It鈥檚 an exceptional product and we expect the performance street market to respond quickly.鈥
The Quiet Slot鈩 rotor program also addresses the needs of the automotive distributor and installer.聽 鈥淥ur new rotor line is a direct bolt-on replacement for OE rotors and manufactured in ISO Certified facilities鈥, said Jerry DeMarino (Director of Performance Products).聽 鈥淎dditionally, the unidirectional vane and slot design eliminates the need to stock left hand and right hand rotors.鈥澛 This feature presents an immediate financial impact to distributors that currently inventory directional rotors.聽 Imagine operating with half of the inventory investment and maintaining current fulfillment and response times!
Hawk Performance庐 has also taken measures to decrease the impact of automotive products on the environment.聽 All Quiet Slot rotors are finished with a GEOMET庐 coating that protects both the internal and external surfaces from rust and corrosion. GEOMET庐 is a proprietary water-based coating dispersion containing metal oxides, metallic zinc and aluminum flakes. The zinc and aluminum platelets align in multiple layers forming a metallic silver-gray coating. Applied as a liquid, the coating becomes totally inorganic after curing at 575-600掳 F (300-315掳C).
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS:
CHROMIUM-FREE- Does not contain any chromium (NO HEXAVALENT and NO TRIVALENT).
NO TOXIC METALS- Free from nickel, cadmium, lead, barium, and mercury.
GEOMET庐 meets the following regulations:
鈥 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
鈥 Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
鈥 General Motors庐 GMW 3059
鈥 EU Directive on End of Life Vehicles
鈥 DaimlerChrysler庐 CS-9003
鈥 Ford庐 WSS-M99P9999-A1 (Hex 9)
Hawk Performance庐 will officially introduce the Quiet Slot鈩 rotor line at the 2010 SEMA show (booth #23261). Advanced orders will be accepted with initial product shipments commencing January 4th 2011.
