[Shotimes] Help Please: Steering Wheel Vibration

Just checking the AZ net site, the AIMCO (white box Chinese) rotors are
going for $36, at least here in SoCal.  They were a bargain at $27 before,
IMHO.  Now, well, the price is just ok.  But I have to say I've never had
much luck in turning rotors; they seem to warp again soon.  I just replaced
the factory rotors on my '95 with these AIMCO ones along with a set of PFCM
pads.  After a good hot breakin, they are perfect.  The dust shows up on the
chrome wheels but easy to clean.  Highly recommended.
Mike
