    Ebay rotors

    Its time for new rotors, does anyone have any experience with some of the cheaper eBay rotors like R1s, or Magnums? I not one to use crap parts but I thought I see what R3V had to say.

    Also what performance pads are most people running?

    Thanks

    You can get ATE rotors for cheap enough through BMA (25$). The shipping was free too. I wouldnt mess with chinese rotors. I'm using Ferodo pads and they are stopping better than the axxis pads. More dust though

      I actually got a set of slotted & cross drilled rotors off eBay from a seller who makes them from his shop and they were decently priced. I'm still using them and after 2 years they work great and have not given me any problems. If I can find the guy again I'll post a link.

        I have heard that cross drilled rotors that were not annealed after the drilling crack. Have you had your car on the track?

          It is really hard to beat the OE (or equivalent) plain rotors. They are not expensive and readily available.

            I second that. Get a set of Brembo OEM rotors.

              I run Brembo blanks on my turbo car with good results. No problems here.
