No? People don't have to order Porsche rotors from California.

CB parts may not break, but they do warp. Roto-hubs don't re-surface very well because they tend to chatter a lot on a lathe. Strength sought in the control arms is torsional rigidity, not tensile strength. It's a matter of flexing, not bending, or breaking. Remember, some people do drive their cars hard enough to warrant those considerations.

No. They boast about what excellent brakes they've obtained for less cabbage than what CB wants for a kit with non-vented rotors, and Ford Taurus equivelant calipers.

Chist man,...Don't get so arrogant every time you're not part of the general concensus.
