In Europe (especially Poland, where I live) there is one - absolutelly no rotors available for the rear brakes (EU SVX’es have vented rotors) and poor selection of front rotors (I have found two - one of which is total POS and second one is Brembo set for about half of my salary, and I’m not earning THAT little ;) ).…
