http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=170025466583

Hi, has anyone heard of this rotor company? The price with the Hawks HPS pad seems great. Will these be worst than our OEM ones? Thanks.

for real. there are a few things i wouldnt cut corners on, these being one of them. It's like going to get a tattoo and not having enough money for what you want so you jsut pick one you arent satisfied with but can afford.

There are more than 6 commercial grades of the cast iron used to make rotor blanks...........then there is the internal cooling fin and support design variations...................then there is the before and after annealing and hardening processes..............finally quality control.

A 10% better rotor may cost double or triple what a generic rotor wholesales for $25...............before any fancy drilling, slotting, cadmium plating is done to enhance the retail price.
