after u get installed.. dont do any hard braking..


for the first 500 miles.. u have to drive like a granny.. or else.. your rotors will warp and not funtion correctly..

my buddies use ebay rotors.. and they have no problems with them.. but.. just be careful.. u get what u pay for

first off, make sure their zinc plated....second, you get what you payfor...3rd, im sure those are just reg. blank rotors that were thrown to a drill press to create the "X-drilled/slotted" effect....im sure they would end up warping or cracking sometime...

doing cheapo on rotors is a bad idea. you wont even get a chance to put them on the car since the rotors usually already come warped or even cracked. theres always a chance though

Both of those eBay listings are trouble.
You have a independent shop buying standard replacement rotors and drilling holes and cutting slots. If you want drilled or slotted rotors then buy factory Brembo sport kits or just stick with replacement rotors.

Brembo doesn't make slotted AND drilled rotors in our applications. They are taking blank brembos, then drilling holes and cutting slots. Not a good thing.
