I used Sebro ... Steel needs to be proper formulation and then cast correctly/ heat treated properly ..stay away from cheap Chinese stuff unless you drive a Chinese car ...

"Machined in the USA!" Code speak for Made in China out of who knows what. If there's one place you don't want to go bottom fishing it's your brakes! OEM, Zimmerman, GiroDisc, Brembo....there are so many good options why buy the cheapest when you should be shopping for the safest?

Former Vendor
Girodisc announces a brand new rotor casting that will be used on most applications with an outside diameter between 345mm and 355mm
• Braking Performance: The forty-eight directionally curved vanes act as a centrifugal air pump and actively move cooling air through the rotor as it rotates, helping to shed heat quick and reduce brake pad fading. The discs are also slotted, allowing a maximized contact at the interface between pad and disc as the edges of the slots continuously clean and refresh the pad surface.
• High Quality Materials: The Girodisc rotors use only the highest quality materials and components. The rotors are high carbon content iron for long wear and stable thermal performance. We have developed alloy combinations that are consistently outperforming anything we’ve had in the past. This is proven on both the brake dyno and the race track. We have worked closely with American foundries and testing facilities to help us design our castings and tooling to make the best possible product. This is a commitment to our customer and our country’s economy. All our iron is poured in the US.
The center hat section is aircraft grade 6061 billet aluminum with a charcoal grey color Military spec type II anodized finish. We use only American made aluminum from Kaiser, Alcoa and SAPA. The disc hardware consists of cadmium plated high strength alloy steel drive bushings which take the load from braking actions while maintaining the float between the hat and disc. Girodisc manufactures all these components in-house to our own specifications. Disc machining, hat machining and pin machining all happens at our facility in Bellingham, WA.

Ok everyone has given their expertise and $1 wisdom. No one has gone the distance...
Bought a set with ceramic pads for my 91 944s2 Cabrio that sees track time at Laguna. I figured even if they only hold for one set of pads its still a win...
Guess what, I am totally satisfied and impressed. over 35k miles, still no bead on the outside lip, no issues, no irregular scoring, perfect fit, no discoloration from overheat and believe me, I drive hard. Lived in Switzerland fro 21 years and have many Laps at the Green hell. Follow the bedding procedure and you'll be satisfied, of cours anything mass-produced can have a flaw, but thats what costumer service is for.
Way better product than 944 engine mounts, factory or other....
I will be more than happy to sent anyone who is interested current pics at anytime as they are still on the car, rears look like mirror glass and front right has only a one line score from a foreign object.
