You raced Riverside. Now I'm just plain jealous.

I do agree that these Chinese made disks are of lower material quality, but the fact that they rust is not a good indicator of this.

You both make a good point. I should have specified that the rotors I watched rust before my eyes were off-brand parts. And I do understand that unfinished cast iron will rust no matter what, but the rotors I had were exceptionally good at it. For example the vented front rotors were no longer vented due to rust that built up up like a fungus and clogged them solid.

A lot of the name brand parts come from China anyway so really it's just pot luck.

I think it's more a matter of quality control than source country. Honda, Toyota and lots of other Asian manufacturers manage to source perfectly good, high quality stuff from China. But a lot of pure crap comes from there too.
