I have my originals sitting here and there are quite a few numbers and letters cast into them that aren't on the new ones. They are more accurate than the one piece rotors but certainly not going to fool too many if you are looking for the "original" look.

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 ] |

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?

When a part can be cast in the US, shipped overseas, machined, brought back to the US and sold cheaper than we can make it, something is wrong!
There is nothing wrong with capitalism but THAT is ridiculous! IMO ![]()
