not sure it will help, but check these links....some information about eBay brake & rotor. I personally will be cautious with ebay brake & rotor, unless it's reputable company. You can save money on something else, not on brake.

Default I purchased a set...

I purchased a set of "brembo drilled and slotted" rotors a while back, its been quiet some time so I'm sorry I cant tell you the seller. The biggest thing i didnt realize when I purchased them is that the "Brembo slotted and drilled" rotors arent real brembo performance rotors, but rather brembo blanks (regular brembo rotors) that were drilled and slotted by the seller or some other company. Here's an example of the ones I purchased, not the same seller so just want to point that out, this is what they looked like.


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Brembo-Sport-BRAKE-DISC-lexus-GS300-GS-300-98-05-04-03_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247QQcategoryZ33564QQihZ024QQitemZ370034985162QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V

Overall they were ok, but no where near what I see and hear from individuals who put on the big brake kits. In any case, my fake brembos were ok for about a year before they warped and started vibrating - they look cool, but I would spend the extra if i had to do it again.

I would say that you should try tirerack for pads and solid vented Brembo rotors.
