If you're serious about your ride, you know that having top-notch brakes is non-negotiable. That’s where SP Performance comes in. Founded back in the mid-'90s in Long Island, NY, this brand has built a solid reputation among truck enthusiasts and speed junkies alike. They’ve really carved out a niche in the aftermarket brake industry, thanks to their innovative designs and commitment to quality. Trust me, these aren’t just any brake parts—they’re engineered to go the distance.

Take their drilled and slotted rotors, for example. They combine the best of both worlds: the drilled holes help with cooling, while the slots work to vent out gases and brake dust. This means better performance when you really need it, especially if you're pushing your vehicle to its limits. And you can bet these rotors are made from top-tier materials sourced from select factories, ensuring they can handle whatever you throw at them.

What sets SP Performance rotors apart is their Cross Drilled and Slotted design. They’ve taken the time to eliminate sharp edges on those drilled holes, which is a smart move. This design choice not only helps with airflow and dust removal but also significantly reduces the risk of cracking. Keeping the surface temperature down is a game-changer—it pretty much wipes out heat checking and warping. Plus, every rotor is crafted to OEM specifications, machine balanced, and treated with a gray ZRC coating for extra durability.

• One of the standout features is the Exclusive Sinusoid Curve Chamfer on the holes. This promotes cooling and minimizes stress on the rotor, extending both rotor and pad life.
• The slots improve pad bite and air circulation, which is crucial for maintaining performance under pressure.
• They also help vent gases, reducing brake fade and hydroplaning in wet conditions, ultimately shortening your stopping distances.
• You can choose from a few finishes: Bright Silver Zinc Plating, Black Zinc Plating, or Gray ZRC Paint, depending on your style.
• These slotted and drilled discs are crafted using high-quality castings that exceed OEM standards, so you know you're getting the best.
• With CAD software guiding the design and CNC machines handling production, you can expect consistent performance every time.

In terms of fitment, these rotors are compatible with:

• Acura RSX (2002-2006)
• Honda Civic (2004-2011)
• Honda CR-Z (2011-2015)

So, if you’re looking to upgrade your brakes, the SP Performance Drilled & Slotted Vented 5 Lug Front 261.7mm Brake Rotor with that slick Gray ZRC coating is definitely worth considering. It’s designed for Acura and Honda models from 2002 to 2015, and trust me, you won’t regret giving your ride the stopping power it deserves.
