cheap brake rotors
If not already known.
I've gone 2 days at spring mountain 2x streets of willow 1x willow big track 1x horse theif plus about 20,000 miles of driving on these rotors. They just started to warp after last time at the streets. 20 min run groups at each event. not bad for 120bucks total including shipping.
just odered an new set hopefully they are as good. hopfully this is good for somebody.

Thanks,
Brembo ... where are they made?
Quite a disparity in rear prices ... are they matched directional?
one says "rear right"
other says "rear" at significantly different price.

guess it shows a company like Brembo will drop it's name on anything for a buck.
What is right rear and rear? Might be two rights like a C6Z
Where made for 120 bucks shipped I'll guess China at staggering odds.
guess no worse than NAPA's are now anyway.

it came in a brembo box, i believe these are exactly the same as the drilled rotors... just not drilled.

i guess they charge you 400 bucks for that service which is no good for me. The last time i used drilled rotors they started hairlining after one track day and warped it seemed like almost right away. i actually weighed the front brembo and it weighs 16 lbs wich if i remember correctly is about 3 pounds lighter than my last napa's which lead me to beleive they are not the same rotors and i thought they werent going to last as long.
about the directional, heck if i know, which one is which. it doesnt have any marking on the brembo box for me to even know which goes on which. i just made sure the front went on the front, based on part number. and yes they all 4 have diff part numbers. can it make a diff..
i waited to post until i used them, the last thing i want is CF members mad at me because i convinced them to to buy crap.
chinese, maybe but i can def say from own personal they worked for me alot better than the napp's. dont know why, but ther you go.
