"I wouldn't know about such things, I usually buy the cheapest aftermarket parts I can find."

I have always done the same until I've established some sound proof the knockoffs are inferior, such as with the donut rings that hold up the exhaust silencer and a couple other rubber parts. I enjoy testing things so I can let you all know what to look out for.

In the case of brake rotors, I've used Zimmermann and Brembo, mostly Brembo, until I found a few years ago the blue box rotors are now competitively priced. I mean competitive! $38 vs $34 for the cheapest of the aftermarket. Of course they are made in China, but I do not equate that with poor quality as some do by knee-jerk. Check out this current offering from FCP.

A bargain is something you don't need at a price you can't resist.
