i eventually want to upgrade my brake system. i saw these on ebay and thought it might be a good start to replace the front rotors.

I personally would get them from Excelerate if he still has them available, here: https://acurazine.com/forums/sponsored-sales-group-buys-10/rotora-slotted-drilled-slotted-rotors-special-cl-tl-tsx-324531/. You always run the risk of getting scammed on ebay IMO.

I'd stay away from those and maybe get some Rotoras.

What would be the difference? Can you post a link to some of these as i have never shopped for rotors before....

Also, is it important to replace both the front and the rears? I notice many more fronts for sale that rear replacement rotors...

Thanks

I see Brembo labeled on the box. hmmm

There is a stigma going around that Ebay rotors are crap. Just be weary of what you're buying on Ebay.

The extra money you pay excellerate will give you peice of mind...and it really would be marginal since these are $160.

I was looking into upgrading my rotors. I have 03 CL-S and was wondering if I need to upgrade the calipers too, or just upgrading rotors and break pads will do?

the ebay guy says they're "plug and play" and do not need to change a thing (pads, lines, calipers, etc...)

thanks for the suggestions...i'm shopping around

i feel weary of ebay, but he's a POWER SELLER and has good feedback....

i'm going to sleep on it, but it just sounded like a great deal (free shipping too!)

Just because he's a power seller doesn't mean that the rotors are good quality, it just means that you'll probably get them as opposed to him ripping you off. Somewhere I have heard that rotors on eBay are drilled by amateurs at home.
