EBay rotors are usually "Economy" rotors (cheap)

Personally, with braking, I wouldn't get cheap rotors. Contact Blacktibs or FlyRyde.com (his website) about getting some cross drilled and slotted rotors. Roughly $200 or so plus shipping... maybe a little more.

What the dude says ^^

Got my rotors, look nice, brake nice, almost had a f*cking collision with the car in front of me (seat ibiza, black) when braking hard. (a few cars drove behind a camper, and the car in front of me braked a bit first but then harder but at first I thought he just braked a little bit.
So I had to step the brake hard, could almost feel the front brakes lock up, luckily the car behind me (307 peugeot) could brake in time.

Damn you feel awake just after that laugh.gif

Sorry to post offtopic, but I had some new front rotors + pads from rotorpro and I think if I had my old crappy stock disc brakes I would have hit the damn car.
Brakes is one area you don't want to budget on, trust me.

Rather 100 bucks more then a totalled car fing02.gif
