Hey guys, I'm in need of new front brake rotors, mine are warped. I figured I would ask because I want to get the most for my money and I haven't had much experience with brakes. A local autoparts store charges around 60 bucks for a front pair, would it be a bad idea to buy brake rotors from ebay? I can get drilled and slotted for around 70 shipped but I'm not sure if they would last as long as ones from a parts store or if they would be just a waste of money in general.

I'm looking to get the best bang for my buck, not really into upgrading but if it would be only 10 dollars more I'm all for it. Anyone had good or bad experience with brake rotors and where they bought them?

It's show and tell time!

now im not vouching for them, but i did buy a car that had the ebay cross drilled and slotted rotors up front and they didnt give me any problems...

but if you dont really do any hard driving, you probably wont need anything more then stock.

Yeah, I'm thinking stock rotors and ceramic pads will be good. Any recommendations on where to get some for cheap?

umm ceramics aren't the best for stopping Semi-Mets are ceramic doesnt conduct heat as well as straight metal

watch this and you'll see what i mean
