Thanks for the heads up Dan! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif it never ends with the foreign parts.

I have my originals sitting here and there are quite a few numbers and letters cast into them that aren't on the new ones. They are more accurate than the one piece rotors but certainly not going to fool too many if you are looking for the "original" look.

Japan, really? not China?

(because now Japan is quality compared to China) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

I agree, Japanese is on the high end of the scale these days. Not that I'm endorsing these parts.

IMO if the car is worth restoring and the good original parts are still available one has to go with the originals. If the car is a trailer queen, they don't even need to be to spec if the car is hardly ever driven. My rotors are not quite spec and I drive my Z/28 weekly and never had any problems. Buy good used if available. No kit cars! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Well, we all know where the jobs are or have gone to. It sure irks me to know just how much this country has allowed to slip away. To settle for Asian aftermarket parts for our American muscle cars is pretty sad! Buy Made in America https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

------Jeff Dotterer is apparently selling the ones that are pictured. Dan, Its good to know where they are made, but are you making a statement about quality or safety??? Lacking good rotors, are these an acceptable option for a driver, as they look OK to the naked eye??? ......Bill S

Hi,
The rotors are made by a good quality rotor manufacturer in China. There are thousands of his rotors in one piece design currently in service. I would love to offer a USA product, but as priced, would be roughly double the cost of our current product. Thanks for your interest!!!!
