About 6 months ago, I bought a set of front brake rotors for my RS America. When they showed up, I unpacked them and just looked at one rotor, it was the right one, the other rotor box had the same part number on it, so I didn't open the other rotor box.
Last weekend I got the rotors out to put them on the RS, Oh my God, 2 different rotors, see pictures. Anyway to make a long story short, I called the Vintage Imports, Dayton, OH. and told them my story and how the part numbers on the boxes matched. They said they only refund/replace for 30 days. I said, I kind of figured that, I was gonna ask if they'd sell me a rotor at a good price, yada, yada, yada. Before I could ask, they asked for my address and said they would ship me a new rotor today, no charge. Wow (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) I said I'd ship the other rotor back, they said keep it, toss it, do what you want with it. They also said it should be a Porsche rotor. Now pack rat that I am, I am not going to toss a new Porsche rotor. The wrong rotor is on the right. On the edge of the rotor are: 1522(07)8004752 min 22.0 Made in Germany. So, does anyone have any idea what this rotor fits? Attached image(s)

i don't know about the rotor, but Vintage Imports certainly would get my bussiness. One thing is to make a mistake, it is something else to go beyond and make it right for the customer like they did.

I just looked at my new uninstalled '91 C2 rotors and they do not look like the mismatched rotor, so you can scratch that off your list...

The "right" rotor showed up today.
I can't say enough good things about Vintage Imports out of Dayton, OH. Talk about service and honoring their sales. 6+ months after the sale, they still made it good. You can't ask for more. It's really nice to run into something like this, doesn't happen too often in today's world. The wrong rotor fits a Porsche 993 rear, saw one at the Swap Meet at Mind over Motorsports today. Had a good time. Later, Don |
