Those rotors in the ebay auction are junk besides you will never get them hot enough in real world driving to really get an advantage out of them. Those rotors are more for road racing......My suggestion would be get yourself a couple pairs of Brembo blank rotors and some good ceramic pads. That is what I have installed and have been running them for the past 75K miles w/ no problems what so ever. My brakes haven't even been turned at all in those 75K miles of driving.
Just my 2 cents......

I posted this here on ClubLexus December 2008. Still have them in the closet and still don't need them. Mom was really easy on this car before I bought it from her summer 2008 when she was getting a new Lexus. These are about the same cost as that eBay link you posted, but these come with pads for the front and the rear. Let me know if you're interested...
Front & Rear Vented & Cross Drilled Brake Rotors & 4 sets of Pads (1995-96 ES300, ES330)
I bought these 08/31/08 for my 96 ES300 and I expected to need new brakes at the end of the year. When my mechanic went over the car for "the winter season" he told me the brakes were only worn about 20% & the rotors are fine.
They have sat in the box since I got them and I have no need for these for at least another 18-24 months. Paid $187.99 + $47 freight and am asking for $150. Brand New in the box, NEVER been used.
Oh yeah, I can send them to you at no cost by US Postal Service Priority Mail Large Flat Rate Box (2-3 days to MN) and $150 is still the price for this set of brakes (I have original invoice). I am set up from buys and sells on Ebay to receive payment(s) by Paypal & that's the safest way for us to handle this "transaction." PM me if you're interested...
