Are These Rotors Any Good- Aftermarket Ebay
« on: November 15, 2008 - 10:34:06 PM »
Are these rotors any good, I need new ones and these seem pretty inexpensive. Has anybody used these before? They will be going on my 73 Charger. I asked about the size and fitment and they ensured me that they would fit.

I bought a set from irotors off eBay.  I assume they came from the same factory.  No complaints...seem to fit fine.

Are they a unicast (rotor and hub) or just a rotor that you would have to use with the hub of an original 2 piece rotor?

the pictuire is obviously not the part you are buying
 most Mopar rotors are 1 piece & have the hub cast into them if  these don`t you will need the early 2 piece rotors to get the hub you need to mount the rotor

Don't forget the differences in earlier and later bearing sizes. A 70 rotor won't work on a 74 spindle. The 74 rotors are backwards compatible to the earlier spindles if you use a  bearing spacer however.

I think I would question the seller a little more before buying to find out exactly what he's selling. The pictures are definately not of what fits a stock E body. He also lists the rotors for all 5 years of Challenger and 70 and I believe 71 had different rotors and spindles from the later years and don't interchange.

I'd worry more about warping and cracking of the rotor rather than fitment.
 
Cross-drilled, Slotted, and cheap do not fit in the same sentence...in my opinion.

I got these from Summit (#SUM-KAR8310PS). $195 with the ceramic pads (not too bad, IMO) and they work nice:

If they don't fit then I guarantee you'll never warp or crack them! :roflsmiley:

The guy said they are all lumped together because they are all the same price. If I buy them I have to tell him the year and what kind of car I have.

I don't think the 2 piece are available anymore, the unicast is cheaper. I have one of each on my car....

The unicast rotors are much preferred over the old 2 piece design. They were a mess. The unicast design had an update not too long ago that added some extra meat that further enhances its reliability.
