ebay brake rotors?

[totaldoughnut]

My front brake rotors are wasted, warped and shakes. Im going to change the rotors and pads. I was looking on ebay and saw some really good prices on sets of 4 slotted and drilled rotors. Anybody ever use these? Are they safe, or junk?

From what i have been told, steer clear of those. Hawk HPS pads with a brembo slotted is what most members upgrade to, or even the machined brembo flat face. I have some knockoff Inroble Rotor brake rotors in front with some PBR Racing semi metallic pads. Rotors costed me 140 bucks, pads were around 52ish. You can always stick with stock... its not like its bad or anything.. .:P

Brembo Blanks and Hawk semi-metalic brake pads. Drilled and slotted rotors can crack.

I was always told stay alway from that stuff and i always tell myself you get what you pay for so if you buy cheap you get cheap product but thats just me.

Brembos would be nice but right now id rather spend that kind a cash on other upgrades. Ill just cruise over to autozone and pick up some stock pads and rotors.

Nothing beats Brembo blanks mated with a good set of pads.

Whats a fair price for the Brembos?

besides brake parts are not exactly one of those parts you shouldnt really get cheap on and when the brakes fail accords are not very fun to try to stop my accord did that right before i sold it was a helluva ride gettin it stopped

I got mine for $70 shipped which was very reasonable.

tire rack sells them for $38 each so $76 for a front pair + shipping.

I've never seen ebay brand rotors before. When did Ebay start making parts?

I got my slotted and drilled Brembos on ebay. I'm pretty sure ebay didn't make or modify them, though.

Response:

Wow...

$150 shipped for all 4 discs, crossed drilled.

compared to:

$220 shipped for all 4 discs from Tire Rack, Brembo blanks.

...and yes... I've read all the articles about blanks being the best but these just look nicer and its not a bad trade off for better appearance.

Also, getting the calipers powder coated helps alot too.

I'm definately doing the conversion of H.O.R. to R.O.H....all thats needed pretty much are what...98-99 Acura CL hubs from the dealer or after market and calipers.

I mean.. the hubs pretty much off ANYWAY when you do a brake job...lol

A really good thread on drilled/slotted rotors. Guys in posts 5 & 7 give a good run down on the ups and downs on them.

I just went to autozone and bought some front rotors, $26 each. Theyll be fine for now, id rather dump big money into other mods at this time.
