    I had one on my 08 only for 500 miles along with the 8 piston kit, all I can say WOW major difference, I had to remember NOT to pull too hard. The stamping is a little diff design currently.

    Why do you need a new rotor? If it's just vibration/pulsing I would just clean it and the hardware off really well and put some better pads on it. I've had this issue with mine quite a few times and cleaning it off always fixes the problem. I wish there was some more info on the ebay rotor. I seems reasonably priced but I would be weary of the quality. The OEM rotors are ridiculously priced for what they are.

    I have found if vibration/pulsing brakes take off all mounting hardware clean or better yet replace with new, or even the upgraded mounting kit, if that doesn't take care of the vibration/pulsing then go with a new rotor. Of your choice.

    Personally I would not go for a knock off rotor.... too important IMO, but to each his own. I would stick with OEM, EBR, Braking, or Galfar....

    ok i will try that first i will go back to the original brake pads and clean things up/its just a strange thing its not consistant and you cant keep playing with the brake lever and slowing down to see when it happens

    there is a round dimple on the rotor it is surposed to line up with the valve stem how is that possible its by a bolt hole? i put it at the nearest bolt hole to the valve stem is that correct?

    It should not matter, it is evenly balanced, I rotated mine 180deg didn't matter.
