Rotors warped - Need Advice!
I do know Centric makes Powerslot and Stoptech brands. They are generally made from the 'Centric Premium' line although in certain applications they have enhanced materials (the High Carbon line) and design (adding curved vanes etc)
Centric also has the standard C-tek line - this is the economy line. Fairly significantly different than the Premium's. Pretty sure all comes from China.
The C-tek line is often the base rotor for many 'Ebay' type performance rotors that are then slotted/coated etc and sold in packages w/ cheap pads etc.
DBA makes there own rotor tooling top to bottom. The foundry is right next to them in AU.
NAPA sources similarly to Centric - and they are all the BPI parts which also brand as Aimco and Raybestos.
The big chain stores all go to China themselves and do the store brand thing.

As you work in the business I'm certain you knew this Nick, it wasn't directed toward you but to the comment about cheap no name rotors warping faster than "good brand rotors" Because many times they are one in the same or of equal quality from the same or similar sources.
But yes - the supply of all of this is intertwined and not always what it seems.
