Can't find, probably because as priuses are not used in way that may make having BBK beneficial, vendors of quality stuff don't fool around and are not designing/making such just for bling sake.
My advise would be - just paint OE calipers. Will be MUCH cheaper. |

R1 concepts isn't that bad, thing with these big brake kit is that you need to find out what company/which factory "actually" made them ......... not what "brand"
I wont buy these online since you probably can't find out the root supplier, if you live in Taiwan then go ahead. Atleast you can actually go to the factory & pick it up instead of buying some knock off from china..... shipped from taiwan don't mean it's made in taiwan at all. |

Good rotors are more expensive to make no matter where the plant is located. A factory (we don't use that word much in the industry) in China or Taiwan can certainly make all levels of quality cheaper than one in North America but if one make is far cheaper than the rest then they have to have cut corners someplace to get that cost. There are about 4.5 million rotors a year made just outside my office door and about 4 million of them actually go to the customers (OEM and service) since they meet all the specifications. The others all go to a scrap bin even if the concern is that one measurement (out of 20 things measured) is off spec by 2 or 3 MICRONS ( a human hair is 100 microns). If the customer specs were looser those rotors would still be fine and would work perfectly. It is by being liberal with the requirements that companies can make a cheaper product not just by making it where labour and resources are less costly. Soooo... Don't fall into the trap of thinking where a rotor is made means much. The key is what the customer (the supplier customer not the end user) is willing to pay for. Like so many things this is a true case of you get what you pay for and if one is far cheaper than the rest then you really, really, need to wonder why and how. It is the supplier's reputation and track record for good or bad quallity that is far more important than the plant that made the product.
