Don't play games with your brakes.

I have the slotted dimple drilled and they are simply phenomenal. Guaranteed for life not to warp or they replace them

+1 I wouldn't go cheap on rotors. I have HEARD never seen, of ebay rotors actually cracking in HALF after very minimal use. Whether this is a rumor or true it's hard to say. In all honesty though as long as the rotors appear to be solid you will probably be fine, but I personally vote for running something thats a little bit better. You get what you pay for.

PS: I have BRAND NEW drilled and slotted rotors for sale if you are interested.

That's not a sound statement. You can buy brand new name brand things from ebay. I wouldn't ever buy no frills parts from ebay

I wouldn't buy anything from ebay. Especially brakes, ever. 95% of brakes sold on eBay were rejects at the factory control center. That means they were not good enough for actual sale.

Not true either. Many normal retailers do business on ebay too.

I got my powerslots for the G5 on eBay and they were authentic and worked perfectly.

Those are even cheaper than the ones he posted. Not saying they aren't good but never heard of it.
