Has anyone purchased rotors or brakes from ebay? Any recommendations?

I just got mine from R1concepts, they look like very good quality. The look nicer than the Brembos I put on my GFs car. I'll let you know once I get my EBC pads and S/S lines. BTW, don't but the "brembo" rotors advertised. Read that sellers feedback and you'll see some people got cheap knock offs.

what i have found with ebay rotors... just like any part thats not OEM is you get what you pay for... most of the time the "High performance" drilled and sloted rotors you get on ebay are the cheepest ones you can buy at a auto parts store that some one has just lathed holes and slots in...

I had 2 sets of he cheapo rotors on my previously owned svxi. Worked great, no crackin, no warping. Even when I raced them, they seemed just fine. Great for a daily driver that doesn't see serious action

I bought rotors from STOPCHEK. They had the best overall deal- price, feedback, amount sold, shipping, and they had more patterns on the rotors for stopping. I'll post my results when I get them. PS I also recieved a super fast response to a question I had by email. This was one of the main problems with the other sellers, bad communication.

R1Concepts
I was somewhat leary of buying the rotors off EBAY. Quotes I had gotten was $100 ea from Subaru and $260-280 for all four from local parts stores. I ordered the plain ones from R1Concepts and want to report the quality and fit is very good. The communication throughout the entire transaction was exceptional. IMHO unless ur into Rallying no one needs drilled and slotted rotors and I never had brakes fade in heavy stop and go traffic in NYC. Bottom line is for about $142 I had them shipped to NYC and couldnt be happier with the choice. So if anyone is in doubt-just do it -u will be pleased u did.

no joke about buying things like that locally. i had a shop quoting me about i think it was 900$ for all for drill slotted rotors. and i got it for a good fraction at race concepts.
