Japan, really? not China? (because now Japan is quality compared to China) ![]() [/ QUOTE ] 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!

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

From CRG:
[ QUOTE ] 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!!!! Jeff Dated Components [/ QUOTE ] |

What is wrong with a rotor manufactured in Japan by a US based firm? Its outsourcing, one of the most simplistic principles of a capitalistic market. Factor in the cost of labor and manufacturing alone I would surmise you would easily be spending more than double that price on a rotor equal in quality and performance produced here in the US. I think you're stuck on a very trivial matter.

Dan it had nothing to do with greed. The public wanted cheap. They quit buying American products and American companys had to start buying from China to be able to compete. We screwed ourselves.

Do you know why the majority of manufacturing jobs have gone overseas? Greed! Americans have outrageous salary demands, driven by high costs of living. Yes, the US is not the manufacturing capital is once was, but what is un-American about making money?
