"Caution....Made in Japan"

[rockn69]

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

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!!!!

I would gladly pay 2X the money for these rotors if they where MADE IN USA!

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.

Kim's correct.........why do you think Wal-Mart has been so successful? Like it or not it's a price driven marketplace, especially right now, and as long as people keep demanding cheap (by what they purchase) there will be somebody willing to provide it. While there are many of us that are willing to pay more for many things if they are "Made in USA" that still represents a miniscule percentage of the total marketplace. Just my $0.02.

I would like to know how someone can say after using many repro Chinese, Japenese and Mexican parts In their restoration that their Yenko, Copo or even Z/28 is really worth what they think it is? It is no longer original and or restored with American parts. My opinion is if you can still get, buy or obtain American parts for your resto then you should do it. There are always NOS or good used parts out there. Have to look a little harder thats all. How can American Muscle be called that if it is somewhat of a kit car from foreign manufactures?

Thats just down right disrespectful.

If you think that some Japanese or Chinese businessman took a 2-piece rotor of an old American car, researched the market for the part and then began producing something this specific just for the purpose of ripping off Americans you're totally wrong. Like I said, I challenge any of you to produce this rotor in an American market, sell it for cheaper than Jeff does and still turn a profit. Breaking even does not count.
