They may look pretty and shine but I've learn that wat you pay is wat you get. If you daily drive the car I would watch for cracks around the holes. You have a year warranty so by the 10 or 11th month check for them. Hope this helps you.

If you're looking to get new ones i'd go with this guy..

http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/brakemotive76/

I also am looking to upgrade in the future and from searching on this forum I have gotten a lot of positive info on brakemotive and what they have to offer. IMO check through what he's got FS and see if you can't snag a good deal.

Good luck, hope this helps.

you should just stick with blanks. easier to deal with if you ever need them to be resurface and dont have to worry about them cracking on you. and remember you get what you paid for. i would not mess around with your brakes not worth being cheap. my advice is either stick with blanks or do a brake upgrade.

those look fine...they'll do the trick for daily use. probably not the way to go if you plan to track your gs...

They look good enough, and will PROBABLY be fine for normal daily driving... its nice to have a little peice of mind when it comes to brakes... always makes me sweat a little extra when I see super cheap parts...

Aye Parker they are, but he didn't specify what year/model GS he had, so I linked all of them.
