Ebay rotors... are they junk or good?
Im looking to upgrade my brakes to drilled/slotted and get new pads all around. Eventually Ill pick up some SS lines to go along, but for now, Ill stick with the rotors and pads. So my question is, are these rotors alright? Anyone have experience with them?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Subar...spagenameZWDVW I dont know the difference between the ones on ebay, just picked one.... -Dennis

Re: Ebay rotors... are they junk or good?
I have them. Quite possibly the exact same ones. They work pretty good. Mine came iwth pads that were dusty as hell, and had a very short life, so I'd reccomend picking up a set of ceramic pads locally. After I had about 200 miles on the rotors with the crappy pads, I went out and really rocked the brakes about 20 times. Got the rotors super hot, and no warpage. The parts that aren't in contact with the pads do tend to rust though, which makes them a bit ugly. Other than that, no complaints.

Re: Ebay rotors... are they junk or good?
I bought some from another company that was out of Canada for our Baja but they were just drilled(which I wanted). They have the gold zinc plating on them and are working out great so far. When I took the old factory ones off they had "Made in Canada" stamped on them.

Re: Ebay rotors... are they junk or good?
I've heard good things about R1 concepts. I know they sell rotors on ebay.

Re: Ebay rotors... are they junk or good?
OT sells a package with all that you need. It is very competitive and I have them on many of my cars. Good product.
I would suggest that if you want slotted and drilled, that you go with dimple drilled instead of drilled. They work just as good, but less problems with cracking.

I just recently purchased OT's rotors, SSlines, and pads. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

PMs work, my cell is 301-707-3437. www.svxfiles.com works. BTW, Thanks Earl, Rebecca. The whole setup, four dimpled, plated, slotted rotors, front and rear ceramic pads and stainless steel lines is $375.00 plus shippig for all of it. Race Concepts only sends me Brandi or Canadian rotors. The Chinese rotors are available for less but we are not happy with their quality. In our experience, the dimpled rotors have a much better track record than drilled rotors. Tom

Re: Ebay rotors... are they junk or good?
i had a few SVX's and people cut me off.
why? how much over the speed limit do you think i drive? besides...with the new racing law in affect, going over 50km/hr, "stunt driving" (which can mean almost anything) or pretty much anything the cop decides that falls into the new law can impound your vehicle on the spot for a week (which you pay for) and give you a $2000-$10,000 ticket in which you cannot fight in court.

Re: Ebay rotors... are they junk or good?
+1 for ebay rotors.
I bought a set of 4 about a year ago before I figured out that OT sold them too. Anyway, they work great. I bought some ceramic pads at a local NAPA and also installed SS lines at the time time. I could not be happier with my cars braking performance/reliability, espescially considering money spent.
