American made rotors, if still available, used to sell for around 100 bux each.....the Chinese imports are around 40-50 each...

frankly, I have chinese rotors on front of my work truck, so far it seems fine...

I just noticed that Muskegon Brake has a special on for 4 rotors for $100. Can't beat that price, but I don't know where they get them.

I purchased a pair of Canada-made rear rotors for my '69 from Van Steel for around $50 in early 2005. They have strict quality controls and have many satisfied customers. Give Danny a call and I am sure they still hav competitive pricing.

Hi

I bought a set from ROTOPROS via E-bay , slotted and drilled.
ROTOPROS claims that those are American made by www.CENTRICPARTS.com.
They where 185 USD + 45 shipping.
Unfortunately, they are still in Seattle waiting to be shipped to me together with many other parts I gathered there.
Will have them end of this month only.
They should look great behind my wire spoke rims.

Here is the link to my E-bay purchase, hope it works.

I just received a set of Baer Decelarotors from ajusa.com (drilled and slotted)...will have them on and behind TT2s in the next month. Should look good and improve performance from the reports.
