Summit Racing EBC Brake Rotors

I bought these:

Note the specs say 11.23 rotor diameter. After taking off the wheel, caliper, and caliper mounting bracket, I tried to fit on this new rotor, only to discover that ITS THE WRONG BOLT PATTERN. I'm guessing from what it looked like that it was a 5x120 or something of the sort. I had a slight hunch that it wasn't right because there's a massive offset on the rotor as well (the center hub sticks out at least 1.25 inches).

 

I then proceeded to measure the rotor diameter with a tape measure, only to find out that it is EXACTLY 12.0 INCHES!

 

I'm going to write a nice LONG letter to Summit Racing demanding a solution or I will make sure not a single person from w-body.com or regalgs.org EVER buys another brake rotor from them.

 

I normally wouldn't be this pissed off, but the order was backordered for 3 weeks before it shipped.

Are you convinced that they misrepresented their product or that they simply sent you the wrong product?

 

I read the model number on the website and the model number on the box and they're exactly the same, but the rotor specs don't match. The customer representative confirmed that the manufacturer boxed the wrong rotors. Since they're still not available (except for backorder), I ordered these as replacements:

They were $10 more on the pair than the previous ones, but at least now I'll have the correct rotors by wednesday. UPS is coming to pick up the other package on Tuesday, free of charge.

sounds like you got the 2nd gen 12" rotors maybe. im still going to get the ebc rotors some day.

 

I wish I could. Good luck. The manufacturer apparently boxed them wrong. And they weren't 2nd gen 12" rotors. The bolt pattern was definitely not 5x115.
