Default Has anyone used these brembo rotors or pads?

Hey guys, In need of new rotors and rear pads, anyone have any experience with these, seems cheaper than any oem set I saw online, now that sewell is gone, or if there's any cheaper autozone brands that have served them well, I'm going to be selling my car in a month or two to a close friend so I don't wanna put something on that's gonna make noise or crap out in a short period of time, but also trying to save money for whichever new lexus I buy (gs430 or ls430)

Just your standard disc and pad set with a Brembo name added. A simple search through Autozone will reveal a price of $207 for pads and rotors and $358 for premium+ceramic pads

I have bought from this seller 5 different set of brake. 4 for my various cars and a set for my friend's car. Fit perfect and they work fine without any noise. Very good quality Rotors and Ceramic Pads. Try Men.

I just installed those Brembo front rotors last week with Akebono pads. Smooth, quiet and work well, very happy with them. I bought the rotors about 18-20 months ago from Rock Auto for $15 each!

But history states that these cheap ebay rotors will eventually make noise and crack at the drill areas.

I have my rotos and pads for 2 1/2 year and any issue with it. Maybe is the state. I'm in Central Fl. and like I say, work fine for me for all this years. I so happy with it.
