[MR2] Brakes was Re: 91 MR2 Driver Door - NEED HELP!!!

[bob-schultz at comcast.net]

It is not uncommon for companies to rebox stuff,  espically stuff that isn't a fast turning item.  Sadly Mr2's are fast moving parts,  even brakes

It is likely that these rotors were some sort of off brand that was tossed into a new Napa box.  I remember at one Car Quest Store there were items that were re boxed three times over 2 years and most likely they are still on the shelf
