My local NAPA can get Chinese import rotors for about $25 per and about $60 for the US replacements. Would the metal compound differ significantly between the two? Anyone have any input?
I haven't checked with the dealer yet, but am guessing that Mitsu stuff is more expensive.
NAPA does have new, loaded calipers for $65 per side. Think I'll be going with those rather than taking the extra time to rebuild the stock ones.
Thanks

I have the US rotors from NAPA. So far I'm happy with them, but they were part of the V6 brake swap for me <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. I also bought the loaded calipers with premium pads, they're holding up well too <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />.
