This doesn't seem like great news. We'll have to see how this plays out. Less aftermarket options is never a great thing. No way of knowing if any other suppliers are in bad shape too.

Whoa, whoa Vicinity. No reason to be angry. I'm sure many parts of this will survive, and just because they filed for bankruptcy doesn't mean they are going away. There are a lot of valuable pieces in this company. I would be devastated if I cannot get Centric C-TEK rotors anymore. Those are my bread and butter for brake jobs.
