Out of curiosity, were your problems with the rear rotors?

Default Sounds like a Chinese machine shop taking orders from Anaheim office

How else can anyone produce something so cheap. It's also a giveaway that shipping too so long.

It's hit or miss with that kind of business model. Quality control can be a problem as well as material. They don't have specifications and process controls like we have here. You should ask what the material is they're machining and where they get it from. IF they get it from another Chinese vendor I might be a little concerned.

Not sure, but for the price, I figured I'd replace all 4.

Default Yikes...I just placed my order last night!!!

I called and talked to the lady on the phone. She stated to me that she will call me before she places the order to confirm the information. I even stated on the web order "Quattro", I will follow up with my experience.

Default End result . . .

After finally getting through to customer service, they say they can't get rotors for the 4.2 and were to fax me a call tag. Once they received the parts, they would send me a check, not credit my card. Sounds fishy, right? Well, 3 days later, no call tag. I have contested the charges with my credit card company.

FYI, check out the Better Business Bureau in California. They get an 'F'. I should have done my homework first.

Now I'm getting the rotors from ecstuning.com. Make sure you know the offset before ordering.

Let me know how it goes with Wholesale Direct. Good luck!
