Default eBay Rotors

Hey guys,

Has anyone bought rotors on eBay? If so, how was the quality and should I bite on these?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Drill...Q5fAccessories

It seems .. a bit cheap to be good, but the seller has sold over 20k sets.

Please let me know you're experiences. Also, do you guys happen to know a good place here in SoCal to buy rotors and have them installed?

Thanks!

I bought these on ebay. If you buy both front and back, contact them first, they'll give you a discount. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Premi...ht_3183wt_1084

I have the R1 and am happy with them. A little more noise then OEM but it does not bother me .

I will most likely go for the R1 Concepts premium.. I like how they have more slots and the diamond cut.

I'v read so many posts and web sites going back and forth on cross drilled rotors that I don't know what to really think on the subject. Now, I bought the four rotors and pads over a year ago and I personally like them...no problems so far. I strongly encourage you to read the pros and cons of drilled rotors just so you are informed.

R1 rotors as well. No difference negative or positive over oem rotors. They seem to work the same, which is fine by me.
