I went ahead and ordered a set of 4 Brembo rotors from Rock Auto. I was out of town this week when they were delivered, so my wife brought them inside. WHen I got back I immediately noticed teh boxes looks pretty rough. The rotors did have some bubble wrap, but not all the way around. There was at least 1 side of each rotor box that contacted the shipping box. I did pull all four rotors out and I don't see any visible damages such as dents or gouges.
Should I be worried about any damage to the rotors before I install them? Is higher than spec run out a possibility? I don't want to spend the time installing new brakes to find out there is an issue. If I am being paranoid just let me know.
Nah it's pretty difficult to damage rotors in shipping plus that looks to be packed pretty well. Now radiators not packed correctly that's a whole other story with Rockauto...
Could the box be packaged better for the weight of the rotors inside to avoid the outside box getting smashed? Absolutely. The height needed for a fall to potentially even slightly damage a solid chunk of iron rotors would also completely decimate the box. So it would be really obvious is what I'm trying to say.
