Go with a more reliable source to buy from than eBay. Usually these rotors are made from lower grade from a third world country so the quality and reliability is unknown. They might fade, crack or warp with limited use. When purchasing autoparts from eBay, quality assurance and satisifaction is almost non-existent.

I recommend TireRack for all brake parts, the service is dependable, some of the parts they sell is backed by warranty. TireRack personally test the products that they sell. I can be assured that the part I get is reliable since its been through rigourous tests. In addition, they carry authentic Powerslot and Brembo parts whereas, eBay might carry fakes or relabeled rotors from, once again, a third world country.

Good luck! I hope this helped.

Thanks guys for your response. I guess now I will have to decide what to do. Clearly I am not going to make a purchase from e-bay.

Default Consider these ..........

I was looking for rotors for the GS430 but decided to just turn my OEMs, install SS Line, rebuild the front calipers and try Akebono pads.

If I was going to replace rotors I was going to try Diamond Slotted rotors from www.sp-performance.com

You can get them HERE for $155/PAIR w free shipping if you add pads and get your order over $250 you get another 5% off

If my memory serves me correct, Akebono makes the OEM pads for Toyota/Lexus.

It’s seems like a professional staff, not like some replicas. They do carry rotors for my SC, that is cool, but they don’t list the price. I am going to call them to find out how much it’s going to cost. Thanks.
