So I did some investigating over at ZZPerformance
They sell NEW rotor packs with the Gen 5 coating for $450.00
They'll also move the dowel pin for $10.00
Total = $460.00
I've been in touch with their customer support today and they've confirmed all my questions.
It's a no brainer, ZZPerformance sells NEW and Magnum Powers clearly indicates theirs are rebuilt. Not to mention, a saving's of close to $200.00. Oh and ZZ doesn't require a core.
Now, don't get me wrong, I would rather support an SC specific vendor any day of the week but...
That is a decent deal.
I think one thing overlooked is that the MP rotor packs are designed to be easily rebuilt. I am not sure of the exact specs for the bearings and seals, but I am sure MP picked something a little easier to get than the stuff that Eaton chose. (Eaton has a lot of manufacturing clout and sometimes gets parts made specifically for them, which means nobody else stocks them or even wants to.)
Edit for further thoughts:
I know that the rebuildability may or may not matter, based on how many miles you expect to put on the rotors, and how much boost you run.
Also, I think the MP rotors look like a much better deal as part of the MPX package he has promoted recently. The MPX case and plenum and rotor pack for $1395 sounds pretty good.
