88 Rotors

[StuckeyOG]

Was less than pleased with my first experience with 88 Rotors. The rotors I wanted were out of stock when I called in on a Thursday was told they'd be there the upcoming Tuesday.

Tuesday comes around and I call to double check everything came in and I was told they get there at the end of the day so Wednesday I can get them. So I call in again and I'm told the rotors will be in Friday. At this point I'm a bit annoyed but I understand these things happen. I call in Friday and I'm told they'll be in at the end of the day (sounds familiar) and I can get them tomorrow.

I ask them a few times to make sure the rotors will be there as I'm going to head out around 8:00 so I could get there at 10:00 am when they open and they assured me they will. So I head out the next day, skeptical about what to expect. They had some nice cars and a cool shop but they seemed unsure of the part numbers. I waited for them to bring me the correct rotors. Paid for it, thanked them thinking that was that.

Fast forward three days, I finished tediously taping off my rotor faces and spraying the mounting hub with black caliper paint, installed my whole brake upgrade, got my tires switched over to my 5 lug rims only to find out that the rotors they sold me have next to no clearance with the caliper, I couldn't reinstall one of my OEM shims because it would rub. And what's more is both sides are locked up because I believe the edges of the rotor stick out too far due to hasty machining.

I know for a fact something is not right with these rotors I just haven't had time to examine it more thoroughly. I'm probably going to have to grind off a bit of my caliper to create more clearance. Im definitely not about to be giving them my business again anytime soon, I shoulve just gone to auto zone for some generic blanks when 4 days turned into 9, lesson learned I guess.

I saw one or two odd bad reviews for this place but thought I'd give them a try because they've been around Zilvia for a while but I feel like I've been cheated out of my money and had my time wasted. I even asked about getting OEM style blanks but the sales rep assured me they had really great, quality rotors and that it would take longer because they have to ship the blanks in.

Next time I'll just go with eBay/PepBoy rotors. Its just extremely frustrating that I have to leave my daily on stands until I can afford new rotors or figure out how to grind some of my caliper off to make clearance. It may not be to some, but $150 is a solid chunk of money for others.
