Ditto on the Chinese discs ... as for the difference between Ford OE and Motorcraft, I asked the parts guy that question and his answer was "30 bucks" - thanks a lot.

He couldn't explain any technical difference but basically said that the Motorcraft is comparable to a good aftermarket piece and the OE is, well ... Original Equipment - again, thanks a lot.

For me I'm sure the Motorcraft will do just fine. I put a set of premium Wagner rotors and pads on my wife's ZTW and I like them a lot better than the stock setup they replaced. After 10k they stop better, they look better and they feel better. They weren't cheap, but they weren't outrageous either. Except for the fact that the Motorcraft are essentially the same price and I might even get a discount at Dixie, I wouldn't hesitate to go with the Wagners either.

I was also quoted 70.00 at a couple of local auto parts stores for a made-in-China rotor.

At one time I got a decent discount at Dixie (15% IIRC) through the agency I worked at ... I'll let you know this aft if I still qualify and if so, and if you decide you want a Ford rotor, I can hook you up.

Well, I certainly wouldn't go with a "Made In China" solution for a track day event :ph34r: But why the $30 difference between the OE & Motorcraft rotor? Aren't they the exact same thing? Or is there some difference in terms of warranty/materials?

Yes please, if you could find out if you qualify for the discount that would be great.
