Good buy. I bought a set similar (cross drilled/slotted) and they made a nice difference in cooling and if you ever get a small amount of debris in your brakes(small rock, ect) it kicks out quickly . Anyhow, I think you should go ahead with these.

I wouldn't buy them.

They're probably not safe.

Colors? Really??

meh, the idea of a brake rotor called 'whirlwind' just doesnt scream quality to me, and the fact that it comes in colors, those look more like they are for looks than performance.
and go for just slotted imo, ive heard and seen cases of drilled rotors cracking from the holes

I have heard the same thing. And look on the pictures of the cracked one, where was the weakest spot that cracked....

Go with just slotted, that will save your money in the long run, imo.

Most of the "performance" rotors people buy nowadays are in the $200-250 range. How does price alone tell you it's crap?

If I ever bought rotors off that site, it'd be the Slasher.

i highly doubt this company on ebay has done research into longevity and performance of these brakes. they are trying to make a quick buck off of "cool looking" brakes.

When you drill that close to the edge it will happen ever time.

Yea i have been doing a lot of reading about it and people say that slotted is the way to go. Also i called the company and they guy said that after you use the brakes 4 times the color will come off. Where do you guys get your rotors from? ad what kind? also price would be nice?
