I ordered a set of rotors and they just arrived yesterday. I had intended to order Arashi considering the research indicates that owners are happy with the Chinese brand. I realized that I didn't like the petal design and instead favored a different design. I found a seller offering what was advertised as an American product. The seller contacted me saying that the US warehouse was out of stock but they could ship right away from China. Red Flag #1 .
Deciding to go forward with the transaction after being assured of similarly high-quality and fast shipping, they finally arrived via UPS as verified by the email notification I received because I wasn't home. Upon my arrival home, the packaging didn't appear stout enough to package the rotors in such a manner as to protect them in shipping. Red Flag #2 .
I haven't even opened the package, but I could feel that there are rotors inside
.
Is there a way to check the rotors for true before I mount them? I really would not want to go through the hassle. I heard about putting them on plate glass, but that's only one part of the story. We have a glass table, and I'm sure my wife would only look at me sideways for just a few minutes- I can take that.
Any other suggestions?
My alternative would be ordering a new (or used) OEM front right rotor, but I suppose my challenge would be the same and brakes are quite important to me.
