Just a thought but knowing the rotors may not be available down the road why not buy a new set now and put them on the shelf so they'll be there when you need them?

I just had a conversation with a Japanese manager here at work yesterday when he was asking about my hobbies and family. I showed him my car and told him about it. He stated that I am the design department, the purchasing department, the QA, the assembler, and will be final QA when the project is done. I guess when he put it in that perspective, it really brings a whole new light to what we do.

It also means as has been stated, that we have to look at every part as we build.

Great analogy, you can also add to the list, research and development, fabricator, most important........ frustrater, There's probably a few more titles, LOL

I thought the same thing but they don't have any rotors in stock. Ive been talking with Tobin at KORE 3. I think i will get rid of this kit and do it the right way. KORE 3 = GREAT PARTS AND EVEN BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Sounds like a bunch of crap to me, that's just sad you were treated that way!! Rotor design change? Doubt it!!

Did you buy a "Stock" style kit? If so, I REALLY doubt they changed the rotor design!

Telling you that you need to buy a new kit to get new rotors? Really? Ahole Customer service all the way!

Send me a link to the kit you bought and I will see if I can identify the rotors for you, they are probably off-the-shelf local parts store pieces that will cost you $20-30 ea.

Many people learn these lessons the most costly way possible --- buy cheap crap trying to save some money - only to find out it's just that.... and then buy the CORRECT stuff -- and soon discover why it costs more and also discover they would have been happy as hell to just buy the good stuff in the first place.

There's an old saying about the savings being a short term "high" versus the LONG TERM happiness with quality. Can't remember exactly how it goes but you get the drift.

I will PM you to get some details, if you can get new rotors and the right bolts at least you can craigslist or swapmeet the kit and get some cash back!

My grandpa had a saying (that he probably got from someone else, I'm sure)

"If you can't find the time to do it right the first time, how the hell are you going to find the time to fix it later?"

You can substitute money for time - -- same idea........

Hopefully you can get it worked, out. I'm not trying to pile on, but we've all been there and this type of lesson is a tough one to learn.....especially for frugal people.
