Are Front Brake Rotors Identical U.S. vs. E.U.?

Post by The Professor »

RockAuto has Brembo brand rotors for our cars, but list them under the E.U. flag. Does anyone know if these parts are interchangeable between continents?

Thanks!

yes, they are, it just means that it is in a EU warehouse, so shipping will be costly and take a long time. find domestic source to keep cost down. also, even though the prices are really low, often the shipping costs makes them not a good deal, I always check NAPA and Autozone (sometimes OReiley's) websites, they offer on line discounts over store prices, often free shipping to your home, or free to your local store for pick-up next day. That is often price competitive and much faster than Rockauto.

Yeah I don't order from rockauto as much these days as I do from Amazon or Ebay.

If it is a big order and everything is from the same warehouse, rockauto is usually cheaper, but it is getting harder to find everything in the same warehouse!
