Default Anybody know anything about these rotors

Anybody know anything about these rotors and pads?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=250400070325

Or is there an obvious superior option and/or superior source for brake pads and rotors?

looks pretty fishy, especially since those in the picture are not 928 rotors!

I just bought some of those but they haven't arrived yet. I researched the company online and all the feedback I found was good. I didn't find anything negative apart from the pads dusting alot.

And Mark Kibort, they sell rotors for alot of different models of cars. The rotor picture you are looking at is a stock photo.

I'll post my impression when they arrive.

You can get cross-drilled zimmermans for 1/3rd of that price

Front and rear cross-drilled Zimmerman rotors for a third of that price? $683.95 / 3 = $227.98. I'm interested!

stick with OE Porsche Rotors or OEM Rotors from one of our Suppliers such as Roger (928srus) or 928 INTL.

Roger is very good on his pricing and would be the first person i call.

The ebay ad is for 4 rotors and 4 sets of brake pads for ~$684 which I find a little suspect but we'll see.

At 1/3 the cost one has to wonder of quality............not for me or my family; we're talking about brakes here.

There is place called www.thepartsbin.com that sells a brand called Winhere for front brake rotors. I'm going to try them out. They are only like $80 a side, non-drilled.

Hell yeah, I'm interested also These rotors have been on e-bay for a long time and I have flirted with the idea of purchasing them and saving them when the current cross drilled rotors need to be replaced.

Fabio, I'll be watching for your impression

For what it's worth my price on a complete set of Zimmermans X drilled + pads is $600.

My shipping would be less than $60 for Priority Mail and even less for UPS.

Just found out Winhere brake rotors are made in China. AVOID!
