oh boi....not this one again

BoneJj · 11-23-2009, 02:34 AM

seat them properly, these could be very prone to warping even though they are slotted/vented...

hopefully they work well for you.

No name rotors FTL

yeah well they can get me by for now the gay duralast are 81$ from autozone for just the front 2

"chamfered hole desapate heat." "The warranty is non-transferable.If our mistake of sending wrong,damage parts we will take care of both ways shipping same goes to the buyer. all sale are final."

And the hole pattern isn't even symmetrical. How many ways can you find to say cheapass Chinese garbage?

Not that I have anything against quality, made in China, goods. I'm just sayin'.

Hope you don't die too bad when they shatter.

I understand needing to get buy but seriously you are playing with your life when it comes to brakes....

Darcros · 11-23-2009, 03:08 AM

stock used brembos would of been better

jdmSpecC760 · 11-23-2009, 03:17 AM

so these things are POS's

Darcros · 11-23-2009, 03:22 AM

yes. i suggest buying form a vendor on this site

jdmSpecC760 · 11-23-2009, 03:36 AM

dang

Patrick Olsen · 11-23-2009, 04:26 AM

They'll work, just don't be surprised if they warp or crack without a whole lot of miles on them. You should've gone for the $81 Duralasts.

Scooby921 · 11-23-2009, 10:44 AM

^^ agreed

There are a lot of things on your car that you can replace with cheap knock-off parts and not really see or feel a difference. When it comes to major items that affect the safe function of your car its never a good idea to go cheap. I realize that not everyone has the money to buy the high-end stuff, but you should never short-change yourself trying to save a dollar on things like this. Not only is there a higher possibility of warping, cracking, and a serious failure, but you are also going to spend twice as much on these plus a replacement than you would have spent on a decent set the first time.

This would have been a much better purchase

rougeben83 · 11-23-2009, 11:55 AM

I understand saving money, but seriously, you still spent a good $30 more than you would have even buying non-OEM direct replacements.

Just admit that you bought these for the holes and slots cuz theyre pretty and be done with it.

Autozone rotors are fine btw.

Mekks · 11-23-2009, 10:45 PM

autozone rotors suck, they tend to rust really fast. when i worked there atleast once a day someone would return them for being warped ect.

i love Stoptech/centric premium E-coated rotors. they have this black coating on the non wear parts to stop rust and seem to last longer than oe bremos for me.

'warp'

and rust is what cast iron does

BryanH · 11-23-2009, 10:50 PM

paint the middle with some high temp paint and use decent pads. Vatozone rotors are fine.

rotors dont warp? what do you call it then? we would put them on the table and watch em rock back and forth.

if you do go to autozone atleast get duralast. the valuecraft/autozone brand are total garbage imo.
