PowerStop Evolution Drilled & Slotted Rotors

2008–2014 Scion xD

JBR1311XPR

Overview:

The PowerStop Evolution Drilled & Slotted Rotors are a direct bolt-on upgrade designed specifically for the front brakes of the 2008 to 2014 Scion xD. These rotors enhance braking performance by improving heat dissipation and maintaining consistent friction under demanding driving conditions. Ideal for drivers seeking better stopping power and reduced brake fade, these rotors deliver reliable performance whether on the street or during spirited driving.

Engineered to replace your factory rotors without any modifications, they offer a hassle-free installation while upgrading your vehicle’s braking system. The combination of drilled holes and precision-machined slots helps to keep the rotor surface clean and cool, ensuring optimal brake pad contact and longer component life.

Key Features:

PowerStop Evolution rotors incorporate advanced design elements that maximize braking efficiency and durability. Key features include:

• Cross-Drilled Design: Precision-drilled holes enhance airflow to dissipate heat quickly, reducing the risk of brake fade during heavy braking.
• Rounded Slots: Strategically placed slots sweep away gases, brake dust, and moisture to maintain a clean friction surface for consistent stopping power.
• Silver Zinc Dichromate Plating: Protective coating resists rust and corrosion, extending rotor life and maintaining a clean appearance.
• Direct OE Fit: Manufactured to exact OEM specifications for a perfect fit without any special modifications or machining.
• High-Quality Materials: Made from premium cast iron to ensure strength, durability, and reliable heat management.
• Enhanced Brake Cooling: Design promotes better airflow around the rotor to keep temperatures down during aggressive driving.
• Improved Brake Performance: Helps maintain consistent pad contact and reduces brake fade for safer, more confident stops.

Construction & Design:

These rotors are crafted from high-grade cast iron, chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity and durability under high-stress braking conditions. The cross-drilled holes are precisely machined to optimize airflow and heat dissipation, while the rounded slots are engineered to channel away debris and gases that can build up between the pad and rotor surface. This combination ensures a clean, effective braking surface that enhances pad bite and reduces the risk of glazing.

The silver zinc dichromate plating provides a corrosion-resistant barrier that protects the rotor from rust, even in wet or salty environments. This plating not only extends the rotor’s lifespan but also helps maintain a professional, clean appearance over time.

Installation & Fitment:

PowerStop Evolution Drilled & Slotted Rotors are designed for a direct fit on the front axle of the 2008–2014 Scion xD. Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools or modifications. These rotors replace the factory units exactly, allowing for a seamless upgrade that can be completed by professional mechanics or experienced DIY enthusiasts. Always ensure proper torque specifications and follow manufacturer guidelines during installation for optimal performance and safety.

What's Included:

• Pair of front drilled and slotted rotors
• Silver zinc dichromate corrosion-resistant coating

Ideal For:
