i've bought a lot of car accessories off ebay and never had any trouble. just check the seller's feedback and such...if he has a lot of negative, or neutral/negative recently, i'd say stay away. otherwise you should be fine.

I heard that the cross drilled Brembos are mad from Brembo blanks and someone drills them. Then sells the rotors ascross drill Brembos. Theres a high chance of cracking. Besides cross drilled suck, get vented slotted rotors.

get regular vented rotors, the cross drilled or sloted rotors will eat your brake pads like the where made of butter. get the regular vented rotors and you will be fine, the cross drilling doesnt cool the brakes enough to make the eating of the brake pads worth it. as far as ebay goes, make sure the parts are for your car and that they arent used, especially brakes (someone might just resurface them and sell them).

i have bought from that seller. the magnum cross drilled to be specific. haven't had any trouble and have had them now for about 2 months and put over 5k miles on them. blanks are just as good if not better is some cases.
