Anyone use these? Where are they made? REviews?

These cost a few bucks more ($32) than the Autozone's ($19) or Advance Auto Parts (~$24).

They also sell a basic "Premium" one for $19 (NB 4886214). I'm guess these are run of the mill Chinese rotors. Anyone know for sure?

I've used all of these and they are okay, just inspect after each session for cracking.

I'm working on sourcing a manufacture who makes their rotors in Europe, hope to announce in the classifieds soon.

I bought the Ultras but they aren't on the car yet. I get a bit of a discount, about what the shops do on the higher end parts so it wasn't much more than the regular. It seemed like a good alternative to Brembo at about half the price.

Check rear rotors for chamfering if your long studs protrude past the hub. Seems lots of the low buck rotors aren't anymore...
