Pete,
Yep, they are made in quite a few places in the world but the Aussie one is the
best i've seen, don't be surprised if the asian disc just breaks down
completely is you give it a hiding track side. IMHO the Malaysian & Japanese
discs are average and just aren't as durable as don't last as long as our woven
discs, it may be the different quality of friction materials (eg asbestos)
levels that you can get away with in various countries.
