Summit Racing™ Extreme Performance Coated Brake Rotors
Summit Racing™ offers Extreme Performance coated brake rotors for thousands of vehicles, from the 1960s and up. They're manufactured on CNC machines using CAD-CAM design for perfect balance and alignment, then coated with silver zinc to resist corrosion. These rotors provide you with maximum stopping power, reduced warping, and longer life. The cross-drilled holes and slots provide an exit route for gasses and dust, resulting in better heat dissipation and less brake fade under hard use. Other solid-surface rotors allow gasses to create a cushion between the pad and the brake rotor, resulting in poor brake performance. The cross-drilled holes and slots clear away harmful gasses, restoring full pad-to-rotor contact. These coated rotors are a terrific performance upgrade when replacing your brakes. Order the model recommended for fitment on your vehicle.

Summit Racing™ Power Brake Boosters
A Summit Racing™ power brake booster is the perfect addition to your street rod or custom application. The boosters use vacuum from the engine, or a standalone pump, to assist in slowing down the vehicle as you depress the brakes. This makes the brake pedal much easier to press and improves the braking response of the vehicle. These power brake boosters are available in multiple diameters, in single or dual-diaphragm designs to best fit your application. Choose between the brake booster only; or the brake booster and brake pedal rod extension kit, which makes installation even easier.
