Ebay Rotors?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mitsu...spagenameZWDVW


Do all these designs mean anything? I know the holes are to reduce heat but like does it matter how the holes are placed? And the "zinc" color will that uphold time?
It would be pretty sweet to have black rotors.

Dont know about those rotors, but these rotors are well worth the money and work very nicely. There are quite a few people running them here in SoCal and really like them.

Yes. All the designs prove that they're not a legitimate, performance brake disc supplier. In other words, that driller (not manufacturer) is selling show rotors - rotors made for looks. I recommend staying away.

You're probably better off going with a set of these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2002-...QQcmdZViewItem ... $230 shipped!

Damn. I didn't realize that you posted in the wrong forum. Try posting in here next time: "Evo Tires, Wheels, Brakes & Suspension - Sponsored by The Tire Rack." This thread will probably be moved there.

Wow...i def wouldnt buy rotors from a company that drilled holes for looks. I mean not only could it hinder performance, but my brakes are the last thing that I want to fail. That could seriously be life threatening.

I just bought some of those rotors for my daily driver RSX. They say on the box that they dont need to be cut or anything. Well I put them on and they were warped to all hell. And they are real soft metal so u cant have a metalic type pad with them cause they will squeek-skreech like a ****.

I had them cut and still they make the car shake above 50mph.

I would never put those on a EVO, ever!

unless you upgrade to a 2 piece lighter rotor, your better off with the stock brembo's....UNLESS you just plan building a show car., then that would be ok.

When there's a chick in lingerie in the ad for the rotors, I'd stay away from 'em. I'd instead go looking for the chick.
