Look at the shipping cost before ordering.

Well, in Norway this http://www.sarpsborgmotor.no/main.as...e&artno=780444 is one of the cheapest i find and that is more than 110$ each, maybe as much as 300$ for two with shipping and tax. I did find one at at my local store and there one cost 300$ (600$ for two). The one for 300$ is the same as the cheapest at rock auto, the one for 110$ is the nr 3 at rock auto for 23,79$ so if i find a good one for 61,79$ and that with shipping and tax is 323$ for two i think i will do a good deal? But is the one at rock auto for 61,79 much better than the one for 14 or 23,79$ ??

It costs a lot to ship across the "big drink", doesn't it? That's probably air freight. IDK about the situation in Norway, but in Russia, the corruption is so rampant, you can add 200% to the cost, just for entree fees and internal shipping and handling!

I personally have had good luck with anything I've bought from Rockauto, so I'd go for it. I bought the cheapest rotors I could from them for my 97 ZJ and didn't have any problems with them.

Good ol' stock style rotors have never let me down. I replace them when I do a brake job, it's just easier than machining them and the won't warp as fast as a machined rotor. Always hand torque the lugs to 100lbsft, do not use an impact wrench.

I can get this
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trks...at=0&_from=R40

from rockauto with shipping and tax for 145$ (for two :-) ), that would be ok and a good deal?

I don't trust any of the eBay crap. It's usually junk from China.

pwb

YES, but that link was only to show what the parts look like, it was the same partnumber as the one in rockauto. If i search that part number i do find that its from china, that will then say the part rockauto has is from china to, is that bad?

Most everything is made in China these days. The brand names, such as Raybestos, Bendix, Wagner, and other well known names are of better quality than the no name Chinese crap.

America has always been the world leader in steel alloys. Enough said.
