Default Generic Brake Rotors

I've been looking around ebay and have come across several people selling no name drilled/slotted rotors that are supposed to fit the GS400. Has anyone ever tried these generic rotors and if so what has your luck been with them?
Secondly are Axxis and Bradi rotors considered to be decent. The reason I ask is that someone is also selling a complete drilled/slotted Bradi and Axxis rotor kit and pads kit on ebay for about $400. Let me know what you all think.

bradi rotors are apparently the same quality as brembo
axxis makes the pads, they are a good company.
i doubt that the rotors are drilled and slotted from the rotor manufac, usually it an aftermarket job which if not done right could cause warping..........but the deal seems to be good.
if you don't brake too aggressively(.........now that is gonna be hard to define)
this set up may work out just fine
also look into some brake lines for a firmer pedal feel
good luck

i wouldn't trust "generic" rotors... i'd rather just replace my worn rotors with oem ones if it was like that. go with brembo or bradi, i wouldn't go cheap on brakes, anywhere but brakes and tires.
