Default Re: disposable brake rotors?

"I've also been warned that there are a lot of cheap rotors out there that warp even faster than the OEM rotors. GOOD-GRIEF! "

Thats exactly what he told me came on my truck from the factory; "made in China" rotors. And the material they are made from is not worth cutting as they will most likely warp.

Bruce, I drive like an old lady around here, coast often, and there aren't any stop lights. I once got 105,000 miles on a set of shoes on my 85 C10. I'll be pulling the wheels on sunday to see for myself how bad they are. He said also that the emergency brake shoes (inside the rotors) are prone to rusting and crumbling away. That would explain why the emergency brake won't work on the wifes Trailblazer.
Are all these parts really made in China?
