Unhappy Buy your brake rotors while you can!

In case you missed it, StopTech, Centric and Raybestos is closing up shop immediately. Go find your favorite rotors and buy an spare set.

Big, big yikes!
Hopefully another company or two may step up to serve the market demand, but the fact that nobody purchased them before it was too late tells me that the track and performance driver market has drastically shrunk to the point where it doesn't make enough business sense to anyone else. I can only hope I'm wrong.

Track days have jumped drastically in price over the last 6-8 years, and his will make it worse.

It appears First Brands is still trying to conduct a sale process for its business as a whole or in parts, with the goal of completing the sale process by the end of the first quarter of 2026, subject to court approval obviously. I'll be shocked if a buyer or buyers doesn't step up, though. That said, parts from these brands will still shrink (and have no availability for some time) or disappear or be rebranded

90% of all the brake rotors come from the same factory. you pick the box, send them the art you want on the box, and they will send you a pallet of rotors in 6-8 weeks
