Bottom line, i bought their rotors... they were made in china. their website talks about their california company and their warehouses blah blah blah. Misleading to say the least.

"After reading about your company and supposed manufacturing facility in California, I decided to buy your product. Your "About Us" intentionally mislead me in believing I was buying a Made in USA, Californian product. After ordering all I saw was made in CHINA. Now, every time i hit my brakes I'm scared they're not going to work, not to mention the fact You intentionally mislead me into supporting fascist communists. I'm so unhappy. I don't care if you have supposed strict controls over your factory/yadda yadda yadda. bottom line. steel is chinese, manufacturing done by chinese, but yet you still charge a Premium price for your inferior product with inflated profits. Installing your inferior product at a large gathering, many people also took note of this. I never will buy centric again. Shame on your company for contributing to the downfall of the middle class.

Sincerely,
M.S.

Shoulda gone OEM!!!

A lot of people may have a different opinion that I do, and thats fine, Im not gonna argue it. Just a heads up for people who care about this kinda stuff.

Nice letter. So is the anti MIC sentiment taking hold in Canada as well?

Good job, if a few more people felt this way, and backed it up with their $$$, we could force the companies to start employing America, reduce the deficit, and keep our money HERE!

Bluescrew, you and I are cut from the same cloth. If it isn't companies, its local politicians I'm sending emails to. My wife is sure I've been put on "the list" and they're watching my every move. Thanks for supporting the Made in the USA movement being from the Great White North.
