Brembo Rotor Question

I just ordered a pair of Brembo rotors and received them today. Has anyone ever ordered Brembo front rotors that were slotted AND cross drilled? I looked on Brembo's website and cannot find if they make a slotted AND cross drilled pair. They make slotted OR cross drilled both doesn't say both. Well, I found some on eBay and decided to buy it anyways and this is what I got. They looked remanufactured and it said that they were new and well they just don't look new. They aren't used but I am just worried that they aren't done properly. I ordered a set of rear oe replacement so I know what they are suppose to look like. Do you think I should keep them or send them back. I do want a set of slotted and cross drilled rotors but don't want cheap ones.

I've used slotted ebay rotors with zero problems. As long as they are made from quality blanks like Brembo or Centric, you should be good.

Just pay extra for them, then they won't be cheap.

dble, the rotors you have were probably Brembo blanks and then the Ebay seller drilled and slotted them. They are probably ok for the rears though. For the fronts, you are right, do not cheap out on rotors or they will just warp and rust. I was going to try these EBC rotors out soon when I do my front brakes. Has anyone tried these yet?

I would question if they are geniune also.
Ebay although often good has those who scam counterfit and knockoff.
I would contact Brembo ...
I have Zero Tolerance for knockoff and sub spec auto parts !!
