Default Power Slot Rotor Install into Integra

Power Slot Rotors are a great replacement for factory rotors. They offer more performance, safety and durability over stock factory replacement rotors as well. We knew these would be perfect for a customers 1994 Acura Integra LS. The car has ABS. The customer ordered the front power slot rotors, and pads. Below we will show you some of the steps we took to install the Power Slot rotors onto our customers car.



We first began by loosening the lug nuts on the two front rims, and raising the car up.



We used a jack to jack the car up, and then placed the jack stand under the car.



Here is our recommended point for placing the jack stand.



With the car secured on the jack stand, we are able to begin working on our Acura Integra. The Power Slot Rotors will make a great upgrade!



With the Integra in the air, we are able to begin working on the rotors. Here is what you should see at this point. The old rotors will soon come off.



Begin by loosening the brake line bracket. These are two 10mm bolts.



Next, you need to start removing the caliper from the caliper bracket. This will give us access to the rotor, by sliding the caliper off.



There are two bolts holding the caliper in place.



Our caliper was tough to remove, so we gave it a few light taps with a hammer. Once we gave it some taps, it came off smoothly. Be careful not to damage the caliper.



Above is a shot of the caliper removed. Now we have full access to the rotor.



So the caliper wouldn't dangle, we tied it up to the system. We didn't want the caliper to yank on the brake lines.



Since car was equipped with ABS, we had to remove the ABS bolts. They remove with a screwdriver, not with a ratchet



Above, the old factory OEM rotor is ready to removed



Here is what you are left with before you put on the new Power Slot Rotor.



Above is a comparision picture between the old OEM rotor, and the new Power Slot Rotor. Can you guess which is which?



And that's it! The new rotor is on! All you need to do now is put everything back in reverse order, and repeat on the other side. Enjoy your new, fresh brakes!

Great post on brake rotor install, this is gonna be my 1st time installing the new rotors so I'm sure new brake pads will be part of my install as well. Any tips on removing old pads & installing the pads along with rotors. What steps do I need to know. Please let me know. By the way this is gonna be installed on my hatch but I'm sure its the same. Thanks...

When you get to the point of having your rotors removed, the pads just pop right out. I forgot exactly how it works, but you will either need to compress your caliper piston to let the new larger pads fit, or turn it with a screwdriver to compress it... try turning it first, as that's the easiest.

On Hondas, the front calipers need to be compressed, usually I just use the old pad to sit on the piston while I compress it with a C-clamp. The rears are screw in type.

On my old setup, I used to run Powerslots but now on cars I build, I usually run Autozone blanks with some good pads like Cobalts for the track. The reason I stopped using slotted is because after a few track uses, usually the rotors start to stress fracture regardless if they were slotted, drilled, or straight blanks. A good set of pads and some good fluid like ATE make a huge difference.
