Default new rotors

hello
I'm looking for a new pair of brake rotors (front for now). I was looking on ebay and came across those ones:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-04...item230fcde65d

I would appreciate any suggestions about those or any other brand/where to buy.

Will be used on a 2001 V6.

thank you

I would not suggest buying rotors off ebay. Also, those would be over kill for a mostly stock car. You can go to AmericanMuscle.com ( a site sponcer) and they have some good OEM ones that will work for you.

Those are sold by BrothersPerformance.
Why would those be an over kill? they "eat" from the pads really fast?

Seems awful high. I think my rotor cost less than $75.

what are your mods/future plans?

big plans, mach/cobra brake kit, just new brakes? go to carquest and get 4 rotors and sets of pads

mine from carquest were like $18 a rotor and $25 for front pads and $20 for rears with my discount

mach/cobra/bullit kit shop around

for rotors just go to any discount and get stock replacements. Drilled and slotted are not good unless you are a race car driver other wise you will go through a set of brake pads a week. I have upgraded cobra brakes and still have the basic rotors.

I was thinking they were drilled but thinking back I think they were solid.
