Brake rotor issues

[Moncha]

I guess we could say some of us agree to disagree on this subject. I take it to be like the window and 1st cyl problem, some of us have the problem and some don't. It doesn't mean all are "crap" just some. It's not worth getting undies all bunched up, it's a matter of discussion, not argument.

I have got 71,200 miles on my rotors. All are OEM that came on my '99 VX. I have not even had to change the pads yet, let alone the rotors. When you factor in that I have a Supercharger, drive it hard and do alot of hard stopping, I don't quite understand what is happening to your rotors. By-the-way, we use lot's of salt on our roads (Great Salt Lake and all) I have never had a problem with the orginal rotors.

Well isuzu probably outsourced the production of OEM rotors to several different vendors over the years. Probably the reason for the disparity.

I have tried in total 6 different brands of brake pads on our truck, so far, none are up to the stock pad in terms of ease of modulation at the threshold point, or resistance to fade on repeted high speed stops.

Most of the aftermarket rotors are made in China. All rotors from there are the worst quallity porous cast iron. I just ordered new rotors/bearings etc for the fronts, I wouldn't even consider non-stock for these parts.
