Default Cautious about Brake Motive's Rotors....

Has anyone used these rotors? They are on ebay NEW for $140 bucks. That seems to good to be true. Is this one of those things that you get what you pay for, or are they good to go??

Many of us have them and have had good results. For a bunch of opinions, do a search in the suspension and brakes section.

I freaking love these brakes. I got a complete set of pads and rotors for $165 shipped. I've had them on my Camaro for a little over a year now and they work perfectly and stop super fast. I bought a second set for my Dodge Stealth

They were just rotors, no pads.

i paid like $170 for front and rear rotors w/pads. looks to be zinc plated to keep the rust of the hats. i will say it has made a world of difference from factory, ive done some hard braking 120mph+ down to cruising speeds etc. execellent stopping power for the money! only thing im afraid of is blowing these stock rubber brake hoses! i can do a full stop with one foot and no effort... still cheaper that so called "performance" rotors. cant beat it!

i did have some heavy vibration in the beginning but as i "broke" them in they are not as bad. my only downfall.

I put the rotors and pads on my 1999 TA in May and so far so good. I have only put 2000 miles on the car so far this summer but they still look brand new because of the zinc plating. No complaints yet.

Work great for me too. I might be a little leary with them at the track being drilled, but occasionally they'll do a run of slotted only.
