I am going to be replacing my front axle, so I will have one of the two front brakes apart. I decided to replace the rotors and pads while I am at it. The rotors are original and are showing their age. Pads are a second set (120K miles on the car, but it's manual, so brakes wear slowly). I have ordered Volvo rotors from Tasca for wife's '93 945 a while ago and they came in Volvo package that said "Made in China". These words scare me and I am wondering if the FWD rotors from Volvo are also Chinese there days. Any experiences out there in the trenches? Also, any tips would be appreciated. I've done pads on this car before, but not the rotors.

Thanks in advance!
