I have a set of Powerslot rotors that I had bought for my 93 SE and never used because the brakes never went bad. Does anyone know what other years they might work for? I have them just sitting in the garage, I guess I should just toss them on Ebay or something.

Powerslot rotors rule.
I got the GD for all 4 of them on my 2k2 max.
Plus, I got the GD for hawk pads and raybestos pads.
I emailed them about stuff to do to take care of the brakes and here's their reply:
POWER SLOT rotors are delivered ready to install. Do not turn or machine this rotor prior to use under any circumstances.
Do not use impact wrenches during any part of this installation under any circumstances.
New brake pads MUST be used when installing new POWER SLOT rotors. POWER SLOT recommends you use severe duty semi-metallic brake pads such as: HAWK PERFORMANCE brand linings.
Use a service manual and follow routine brake replacement procedures for your car.
Remove caliper assemble without disconnecting hydraulic brake lines if possible. Examine calipers for leaks, broken dust boots, rust etc… Replace or repair caliper if necessary. Otherwise suspend caliper from frame of vehicle with wire or hook. Take extra care not to strain hydraulic hose or crossover line. Remove dust from caliper using a wire brush being careful not to damage the piston or rubber boot. Clean all brake components with a safe solvent.
POWER SLOT rotors are directional and correct rotation is crucial for proper functioning of brake pads. The rotors are clearly marked on the hub, “L, left” or “R, right.” Left refers to drivers left.
POWER PERFORMANCE GROUP, INC. recommends that you flush your brake fluid and bleed the entire system with a high grade DOT 4 or better fluid.
BREAK-IN TIPS
The bedding in of your new POWER SLOT system is the most important part of the job. When re-assembly is completed, seat brake pads and establish pedal height by depressing the pedal several times before driving. Some vehicles may initially appear to have a very low pedal until pads become completely seated. Upon determining that installation was performed per specification, test drive the vehicle making several low speed stops to seat pads and assure the system is functioning safely.
In order to assure maximum life and brake pad performance the system should be frequently heat cycled. Prolonged, excessive, heat during the bedding process can dramatically affect the performance of the POWER SLOT system. For best results make 6-10 stops from 35 to 5 mph applying moderate pressure. When brakes cool make another 2-3 hard stops from 50 to 10 mph always keeping the vehicle moving. Next the system should be cycled by firmly applying brake pressure, to produce heat in the system, but only for short periods of time. Allow the system to cool and repeat the process. This will begin the tempering process. Avoid excessive or high speed braking until your new system has seated in. This will take you approximately 200 to 500 miles. Not following the break-in procedure will severely affect how your new POWER SLOT system will function.
Under heavy braking a slight whirring noise might be audible. This is a normal noise. A properly functioning brake system is essential to your safety. If you are unclear about any part of the installation, please consult a certified mechanic. Your safety depends on it.
