Default Anyone try these Ebay Rotors??

Ebay headers have been successfull, what about these rotors? The price is insanely cheap which makes me skeptic. Anyone have these?

Yes I like them, I have them on my 99 SS although I have very few miles on them about 400-500 miles they work great... But I would recomend buying from a sponsor...

why? as long as its technical information being exchanged, moderators would have no problem with this thread. I am asking for people's experiences with them if they have bought them.

I have not tried them. But for something as important as brakes, I stick with sponsors. There is nothing more embarrassing than failing to stop when you are going 140 mph.
Just my opinion.

yes, i understand brakes are a component that is extremley important. I'm hoping they are superb brakes. I think R1 Concepts makes these rotors themselves which cuts out the need for a "middle man" and cuts down on prices. WS6Store probably gets their rotors for a lil bit less than these rotors and prices them for about 200 for example. Anyways, thanx for your opinions and interests.

i asked the same question on this forum...the thread is at the bottom of this page but what i got in response was this....

http://www.wholesaledirectparts.com/...-102-64-101-34

people here say cross drilled and slotted only for looks and eat up brake pads quicker...i dont like the way that sounds so imma go for the ones i posted above rather than drilled and slotted...

i try and stay away from ebay stuff...i picked up some rotors off of ebay a year ago and had to replace them after 7 months...customer service was rediculous...

I think lifetime warranty ones from a store you can get to
by bicycle or beater, is the way to go... especially with a
design that promotes stress-cracking (like drilled). Unless
you can tolerate the car being not-a-good-idea-to-drive
for the time it takes UPS to get the next set to you.
