Default Brakemotive Durability

Seems like I might need to replace my pads and rotors soon. Been searching and came across an ebay seller brakemotive76. Price looks to good to be true, for a complete set of pads and rotors. I've read some positive feedbacks on the product, but haven't really read anything about its durability.

Has anyone in here tried this pads and rotors combo? If so, how long have you had it on your car? Any problems? If so, what kind?

Thinking about purchasing this for my ride. I dont track my car. Just a DD.

I have the 95 LS400 front and SC300 rear rotors on my 94 SC300. Have the drilled and slotted ones btw for the last 9 months. No issues so far. Very little brake dust. I would buy them again. Some people do not like the D/S ones but I do not race my car.

Any noise issues so far? Like squeaking or squealing?

I have brakemotive drill slotted rotors from ebay and they aren't bad. the only thing I hate is the grinding down sound I get with intense braking.

I heard from customers, around my shop for whom which we install these brakes and rotors, complain of the steering wheel shaking at high speeds, due to heat warping of the rotors, which happens about 10-15 thousand miles later. Personally i dont have them on my car
