Sorry. Sometimes I think that way when I think how GM was saved by the American tax payer and they source more parts from overseas companies that could just as well be built here for the same cost or less. Especially when said company exists in a country with laws governing overtime. How is that productive?

I am guessing as well the supplier in question here is Brembo. If you check out their website you'll see that they have facilities all over the world including one in michigan that manufactures brake rotors for the aftermarket.
