Title: Brake disc
Post by: Jimbob on April 30, 2014, 03:50:02 AM
What do you guys think of this brake disc over the standard OEM? It's about $75 cheaper

I have not seen these before. You need to be careful as some of the stuff coming out of China is still poor quality. It may be OK when new but may warp or wear early due to poor material quality. I feel that for brakes you should always use the highest quality parts you can get.

Prmas hit the nail on the head, one of the things I see a ton of with cheap drilled rotors on trucks cars; is that they crack around the drilled out holes due to improper heat treating and poor quality steel. I've seen a number of chevy trucks with drilled rotors from china bay with spit rotors costing the owners new tires and rims and broken front ends.  :dunno_black:

Get the best you can afford and don't look back, maybe pick up and used OEM from a wrecker?
