Anyone use Chinese brake rotors on their 3rd gen?

I know, commies and child labor and whatnot aside... :beatdeadhorse:




Anyone here bought any of the Chinese wave brake rotors seen on eBay lately?

3rd gen brake rotors are never pictured by the major makers that I can find (but are listed), so I was wondering...

If you have run a set (even for another gen VFR), speak up. :fing02:



I see Galfers and EBC rotors on eBay listed for the 3rd gens, but clearly, they do not picture any rotors that would actually FIT the 3rd gen, since the 3rd gen doesn't have a carrier. I'd love to see some actual pics of these rotors on a 3rd gen, too.

Do they have to be wave rotors or just replacements? If you are just looking for replacements get a set from Nissin, almost same as OEM rotors, only different material.

If you refer to the JT Braking rotors, I know that the importer in my country has still the solid mounted ones for sale (like the front 3rd gens) but the floted ones is no longer for sale becorse of quality issues

Viffer1993 already beat me to it but here's a shot from mine with a dirty front wheel:

I now have some 4000kms on these and zero problems. They do make a little more sound when braking than the stock ones do but you can only notice it in very slow speeds.
