Default How does this brake combination sound??

After reading thread after thread on here, I decided to get the Hawk HPS pads over the ceramic pads and opted for cross drilled rotors (ebay). I was torn between the rotors below or the Brembo blanks... well cost stepped in and I figured I'd try the ebay rotors out. What do ya'll think about them?
They came powder coated too!

youre gonna have a hard time getting the 4 lug pattern to fit.

i dont trust most ebay drilled rotors and they arent all careful enough to drill between the veins, so you are likely to get cracking and warping.

nice pads though.

dont waste your time with ebay stuff like that. go with standard face rotors if youw ant cheap. and theyll work just as well with performance pads

Nothing I would buy personally. You'll probably be fine, but keep your eye on them every once in a while. Inspect for cracks. If you see any then you probably want to replace them.

If you are racing, I wouldn't use those rotors new.
