( just talked to a rep about it.)

Apparently after raybestos moved from U.S. to China, they sucked, so just before I got here they switched to rayloc, which is still made here. Raybestos was top dog back in the late 90's, shame they tok that route.
I just finished returning a set of Raybestos high-end rotors, "Guaranteed No Turn Out of the Box" with painted hubs, etc. Noticed one was dragging on the pads in one spot during rotation but figured I'd test drive it...shook the whole car when I hit the brakes. Off they came, back they went.

Box said Made In China.

F**k Raybestos. Hope they make a pile of Yuan manufacturing in china.
