How long did you have these rotors?
I am wondering what make they are, I have had MMC rotors for 3 years with no trouble.

Not long, they were just installed with less than a 100 miles before failure.

Op, please help us understand why you have not ID' d the mfg. You seem to acknowledge this is a safety issue by leaving "safety alert" messages, and you describe careful installation, although I don't think you have said you used matching pads. So why not tell us?

Exclamation lyndall rotors

So I thought I would contact the seller to see if Lyndall had contacted them about the issue.

The seller say, no they are totally ignoring him as well. He also said he cannot even get Lybdall products because of this.

What customer services, I hope they go down in flames.

I investigated buying a full set of Lyndall rotors and pads, but found they are out of stock of rear rotors and the matching pads have not been available for months. I have already decided on using a different aftermarket brand of metal rotors, but this thread has confirmed that as a good decision!

Very wise!

I wish I had known better.

So last night I called Lyndall and spoke with Paul. First off he is arrogant and just ridiculous to deal with.

He basically said could I prove in a court of law that his rotors were defective. Then he went on to say he would replace the rotor. I said that would be good for his vendor but not for me. He refused to pay anything in terms of reimbursements for my extended cost due to the melt down.

Paul said he got an attitude about the whole thing when The vendor called him on a Sunday about what had happened. Paul stated he knew he was being a A-Hole. I agreed with him.

I hope he squares Aaron away at GR Customs, who did me right from the beginning. Doubtful.
