I am trying to find standard OEM type brake rotors that are made in the USA for my Ford car.

Anybody know of USA manufactured brake rotors for a Ford car?

These guys do all the manufacturing on site.
As for the steel they use...is there an American foundry operational in the USA, not that I know of.

Brillion Iron Works. But its future looks grim.

NAPA rotors used to say made in the USA on the box, but they were stamped made in Canada.

Nik, you beat me to the punch. I saw the same thing last time I did rotors on my PT.
I showed it to a neighbor, we just shook our heads..
However, the Canadian rotors are better than the Chinese versions. No hard spots, they last much longer.

Use OEM, usually not much more than quality aftermarket.
