has anyone had any experience with this list of aftermarket rotor manufactures' for the Standard HHR LT?
Callahan..

Power Sport

Reliance

ABT
and if so are they better then the standard rotor replacement?

 

its just my opinion, but pretty much any rotor you can find is better than the factory ones....The cheapest I could find online held up better to warping and wear...autoparts stores are all going to be "good to better" options too....

I'm sure some others may share the same opinion...

and no I have never used those brands

 

I ended up buying the Callahans....129.00 for rotors and pads. price really wasn't the issue for me it was more about options.....local shop had EBC for 199.00 I thought that was a bit rediculas..

 

ordered the Callahans from e bay motors yesterday at 4pm and showed up at the house at noon today........central hub must be close??

 

I'm not sure about this.....

But I don't believe there is such a brake parts manufacturer as Callahan. I believe it's spoof of the 1995 movie, "Tommie Boy" which was a fictional comedy of a brake parts manufacturer who died. You might want to Google it.

I suspect your parts are knock-offs purchased by an enterprising individual who just uses the name.

After looking at the ebay listing, I believe I'm correct. Especially after looking at the sellers name. He even uses the logo from the movie and spoof t-shirts. Pretty bright guy. Gets free advertising by people wearing t-shirts bearing the name of his company.

And he's in the Chicago area, so a days shipping to you is about right.

 

yeah I have seen tommy boy...and totally get the joke.... but I looked at the rotors and pads and seems to be manufactured to a decent quality.., I'm gonna put them on next Mon tor Tue i''ll let you know how they profprm ove the next few weeks..

 

and I totallly put the sticker on my HHR !!! LOL

 

Always used NAPA brake rotors and drums, have used them on many different vehicles and they always weigh much more than any other brands out there. Have never had a problem using them ever.

 

You can play Guinea pig on those rotors..reading questionable reviews. Cheap chinese drilled rotors and not cast...who knows? In the brake dept cheaper is not always better.
Other sites said same..low price making them skeptical.
