My old rotors were warped and too thin to machine, so I went looking for new rotors. None of the local parts stores lists them as it's a discontinued item, so I had to order these ones: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... &viewitem= Centric's I believe, are they any good? |

My local store had them 2 years ago for $26 each. I can check if you like. They are only ok. They have a little warpage. I have not been able to find a rotor in the past year at the local stores that wasn't mfg in china. Pads were still USA. |

They're on the way, possibly next week sometime... Until then, the beast is out of commission. |

Got the rotors via UPS the other day... Whatever brokerage fees are, it's a scam  anyways, the rotors seem to be of decent to good quality. A real pain in the ass to remove the old rotors from the hubs and re-install the wheel studs, but a couple hours later and I'm finished the install. Haven't test driven the car yet, but will update after some spirited braking and water sessions, to see if they warp easily. |

Jester were these stamped as to country of origin? I was told a year ago that they were made in Canada. Frank |

Not sure, but the caliper is thumping against the hub when I corner, so I'll have a look today when trying to fix that

Couldn't find a stamping on the actual rotors, but they were purchased from R1 Concepts and said "replaces Centric xxx.xx". I pulled the R1 Concept sticker off and the box is stamped "Made in China"

they seem pretty stout. We'll find out, I guess.

I got some from Autozone that were cheap; made in China. They look cheap. |

 ah well, at least they're still making them for us. Now try finding a KH hub  I'll give a rotor update in the next few month to see if they warp. Next brake job, I'm going with '73+ setup, even if the braking isn't as good, at least those parts are readily available at my local parts store. |
