hyperlink fail.
Also, show me rotors that AREN'T made in China anymore. Most are these days.
And do you have a personal issue with Kinetic/Brakemotive brakes, since you're obviously targeting them in your thread title? Maybe state your issue instead of just throwing a hyperlink in your post (broken or not)?

No not at all, I just got the link through email with the super discount, and I'm considering getting them, when I obtain the funds... I mean, why not... with that kind of special, it beats autozone parts with almost the same price. Lol... i just happen to stumble on this investigation.

i won't ever buy cheap-*** rotors from autozone, o'reilly, etc again....had too many problems with them. they always end up "warping", if you really wanna call it that...i.e., they start to vibrate/wobble when you brake.
bought me a set of ATE rotors from Sam Strano several years ago, and have not had a single issue with them, no wobbling, ever.
yeah, they're more expensive, and yeah, the cheap ones from autozone or wherever may have a lifetime warranty, but it's well worth the extra cost to me never to have to deal with swapping them out for a new set...not to mention having to deal with the wobbling until you get fed up with it enough to actually do the swap in the first place.
it's been at least 3 years now with these rotors, and they've still got PLENTY of life left in them (the grooves in them are wear indicators).
