There was a post not too long ago about some real cheap front rotors,,,
for a 318ti
I would like an economy set asap.
If anyone knows where it is please post.
They were something like $14 each.
Thank you
Peter

are these rotors junk? I need a pair as well but if these suck, maybe I should look elsewhere... Any suggestions?

My first set were exposed to a 300 mile drive on heavily salted wet highway and then car didnt move for a week,
Then upon moving the car there was a vibration in the front end while braking,
I did a 1000 mile trip after and still vibrating during braking, They rusted THAT badly.
There was less than 2000 highway miles on them at the time,
And before someone asks were the calipers bad making the brake drag, No not the case,
I am running 9 cars and truck on the road at this time between my antiques and DD and work truck and have never had a rotor rust this badly in a week....
Yet I am buying another set,,, I may be nuts... But they seemed just fine till that week of sitting salty, I will take my chances with another set, AND they want to see some pics of the offending rotor since they know it is pretty new between buying and having issue,,, Maybe they will work with me,,,
WIll update in a couple weeks,
Peter

Thanks all. I will be buying one of these. There are a lot of good comments on this topic. And if they die/rust up, whatever... they were $20.
