The part # I have for the rear 14" PowerSlot rotors is #26-8694 R&L.
Just for reference:
1500 GMC and Chevy trucks with single piston rear calipers should have 19mm thick rear rotors.
1500 GMC and Chevy trucks with dual piston rear calipers should have 28mm thick rear rotors.

Neither SSBC nor Powerslot will sell me rotors after I told them I am replacing baer rotors from a kit. They say I will have to go to baer because they cannot be sure their rotors will work with baer's brackets etc. I guess they are worried about offset and thickness being different as I suggested above.
But I dont want baer's piece of **** cracking/warping *** rotors that didn't even last 40k miles of street use and will cost $800 shipped or more.

I have the Powerslot front kit I will sell to anyone for $300 plus shipping, just give me your zipcode. It's brand new and comes with 14" rotors and caliper brackets. You save over $100 off retail online.

I've asked dezert1500 to measure his front powerslot rotors and am awaiting those measurements for comparison with the baers.
I got a reply from SSBC today about their rotors. I got measurements of theirs to compare with mine.
Baer rotors:
front: floor to top of hat 2-5/16"
rotor thickness 1.145"
rear: floor to top of hat 3-3/4"
rotor thickness 1.195"
SSBC:
front: floor to top of hat 2-5/16"
rotor thickness 1.210"
rear: floor to top of hat 3-11/16"
rotor thickness 1.190"
From these specs it appears the SSBC front rotors are about 1/16" thicker than the baer, but the calipers should have enough room for the pistons to compress 1/8" extra so I doubt that would be an issue. The front and rear SSBC rotors seem like they would be offset/centered properly with the baer calipers/brackets, and the minor thickness differences should not be any issue.
I'm waiting on a price quote from them also.
Powerslot themselves have not seen fit to respond to my query. Summit racing said they can only offer kits that are advertised and not individual rotors, even though they deal with the companies that make the individual rotors.
