Input on eBay rotors???

Just shopping around for new rotors and feeling out some prices. OEM are roughly $110-120 (a pair) from the dealer. Which is fine, so I decided to look for out of the ordinary rotors, and I came across these...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/330664968991?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p398 4.m1423.l2649

And these...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/150674906659?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p398 4.m1423.l2649

And just for comparison... (at the bottom of the page, expensive!!!)

So far I'm just looking, but I'd really appreciate some thoughts on the eBay rotors or maybe suggest some other rotors you know of!

Thanks!

you're just asking to get flamed ;D


just go to the vendor section on our forum and check out all the deals they have on rotors. They usually have some great prices, you'll find something for sure.

If you're on a budget just get some blank rotor's, and you'll be more then happy with them. Besides, why wouldn't you want a quality pair? Its something that "STOPs" your car, allowing you to live to see another day...

there's nothing wrong with ebay rotors. I've used them before on my mustang. If you're tracking the car, then I'd stay away, but for street use, they'll be fine.

Unless the source can be vouched for by peers or friends, I wouldnt risk it. There is a lot of crap out there. And if you bump up to a more aggressive pads, you will likely see the rotor life degrade faster.

Second, if you are going to go with Ebay rotors anyways, I highly recommend staying away from cross drilled. The only rotor I would recommend cross drilled would be DBA rotors. Exceptional quality.

I recommend Stop Tech for the money and quality. They come in at 85 - 115 dollars a rotor and last pretty long. But if I had the cash I would go DBA all the way
