Talk me out of buying these

NEW PAIR FRONT DRILLED SLOTTED BRAKE ROTORS + METALLIC PADS - 4 LUG W/ REAR DRUM | eBay

Shouldnt be too hard, ive heard horror stories about these at the track that they dont perform well, and thats stupid because if you track your car dont put $100 brakes on it.

I dont track or go nuts on my car really, just a few corners here and there, need new front rotors and pads, like the way these look, heard from guys that have used them that they work pretty well.

What do you guys think?

The rotors are fine for street use. Don't use the crappy pads they send, get good pads and you will be much happier.
