Default Rotors and pads, good deal?

I came across this while hunting in eBay. Any takers? Price seems too good to be true.

Mmmm, right. Shipping at $250. Perhaps they own the shipping company.

Brakes are not the place to go cheap imo.

Not that far fetch,... Plican Parts sells Sebro rotors for $80 front and $83 rear, that's a total of $326 at all four wheels. I put a set of Zimerman on the front of my car last yaer for $180 shipped. I dont think you need to spend crazy money on rotor to have a peace of mind or impression of safety. Not everyone need to put "Big Red" on their 964,.. it is plenty braking power with plain OEM Non-Drilled / Non Slotted rotors.

Just my .02 cent

The lighter the car, the less likel;y you'll need more than OEM brakes. I find the factory Blacks from the 92 on cars have plenty of stop.
