Love your post. I brought new Brembo rotors for the front and Centric for the back some time ago from Rock@ and great (for SAAB 9-5). The Brembo's were "Made in France" and the "Centric's" China. I was concerned about the China rotors, even though they were Centric's premium grade. I mounted them up and checked run-out on both the Brembo's and the Centric's. The Centric's were within .002" - Basically excellent. I then ordered some Brembo's for a Ford Explorer and got some Mexico made rotors that were basically warped out-of-the-box. Too expensive to send them back so had a friend with a lathe true them for me. Parts do seem hit and miss. BTW, Centric rotors on rear of SAAB are holding up great. Just too bad the front bearing looked used/abused as I penciled out this weekend to work on the SAAB but can't without the part. So delay some more.
