Default Any experience with these brakes?

Anyone know anything about these brakes? To good to be true? Get what you pay for?

I don't goto the track or anything like that, so if they are the same performance as OEM then they would be find for my needs.

I dont see why not.....they seem like a good ebay member and the brakes look exactly like rotor pros which most likely they are....go for it....

$150 for 4 rotors? That looks mighty shifty.

But then again, I paid $300 for 4 Granatelli rotors and they are holding up great after a year of use and abuse.

For looks, I'd say go for it.

Ask the seller where the blank rotors are actually made. If they are US or Canada I would say they are a good deal, if they are made in China or India etc, keep looking.

I bought some three years ago on eBay from a guy in the midwest that were American made and they are great, no issues. I just can't remeber if this is the same guy or not.

I bought the ones listed there about 2 years ago. They are AWSOME.
I think they are canadian. I may be wrong but I did buy a bunch of other stuff during that time and a bunch of those items were shipped to me from canada.

Rotors are quality, pads held up good. I say go ahead an buy you won't be sorry.

I also got rotors from Ebay about 2 years ago. Not this cheap, but about 300. No issues at all so far. I put on Hawk pads too.

Those are probably chinese made rotors that are known to hurt people. I wouldn't trust something as safety oriented as brakes to an inferior product. It's not like you can come back 4 months later after they injur you or damage your car and leave ebay feedback because ebay has an expiration on feedback.
