Guess they dont warp in a month huh

EVOm home of morons jumping on a bandwagon


Thoses rotors will be fine just dont get them drilled all the way through for a street car. Get them dimmpled and slotted or just slotted
Naaaa its not just on Evom every car forum is the same way. You should see the BMW forums and the way they go on and on about ebay. If it doesn't cost alot of money, those guys they don't seem to want it.

Some of the 1st few people that posted in your thread have nothing more then believes (just like people that believed in god) Its all base on what they think is right with no facts or testing or even experiences.

There isn’t anything wrong with e-bay rotors, I ran them on my Lexus, MBZ, and Evo…they aren’t made for track but then again stock rotors are the cheapies crap made by brembo.

I used Project Mu rotors and pads for the tracks…and let me tell you, that sh*t's louder then any tweeters made by MY Quart.

Brakes would be the last thing I would buy off Ebay. It's one thing to not get as much power out of something, and another thing to not be able to stop.

Well then you should have taken the stock brakes off your car as soon as you got it. The Centric Rotors sold by many companies on EBAY are far supierior to the crap stock rotors and pads. Read up then post. Ignorance owns you

Once again a BS post with no real life info.

You have to be mad to call the stock rotors crap. Stock pads maybe but the rotors are far from crap. I know plenty of rally teams that use the stock rotors with no problems.

To those that are having problems with "warped rotors" you need to take minute and do some reading.

Stock rotors suck period. They are expensive and work for crap. Plenty of people havent even gotten 20k out of them and at that point their brake pedal was shaking so violently it feel like the car was coming apart. Weather it do to pad deposits or actual warping they suck.

60k now on Rotorpro (EBAY as some of you know it all mechanics say) Cut the fronts once. 40k + on the RS's braking is 100 times better than the stock garbage


Crap Crap Crap

have had a set of rotorpros slotted and dimpled front and back for 10k, works great, tracked them as well. No warping nothing, and they come with a long warrenty too. Say what you will, but for $200 something for a set i'm sure as hell happy.

Crap Crap Crap
More power too you man, keep doing what works for you.

I'm willing to bet 99% of all "warped rotors" aren't warped. And to call people "know it all mechanics" you really have no clue what you're talking about.

Im not directing the "know it all mechanic" thing at you per se. I know the whole "Warped Rotor" vs "Non Warped Rotor" theory. But I do have a clue ive been doing this kinda thing a long time man.

It boggles my mind how people just get on the internet and come out with stuff they have no expierence with claiming crap when it works 100 times better and performs flawlessly. Im not backing EBAY products at all. But these rotors are the best solution out for a DD/Moderate track day car PERIOD END OF STORY

Dude the stocks brakes are craps..just like the cheap red paint on calipers


Take a min to do what reading?? 90% of the people on this forum replace their stocks...for what??? Stock??

They make better Brembo rotors and paints...check out STi, 350z, G35, mustang, and any other cars with stock Brembo set up

Last time I checked paint had absolutely nothing to do with braking and if you're worried about it so much you should have bought one of them.

I'm not saying everyone is replacing their rotors with stock but to call the stock system crap is just shows lack of knowledge on the system. Replacing rotors because of judder is a prime example.

I do agree with you that alot of times when people claim brake shake that it is not actually a warped rotor.

However the stock rotors tend to develop that phenomonon very often. Cut them once and you'll get violent shaking twice as quick. This is anoying and something I and this community is crazy to deal with.

Just cut them Its been the dealers fix to this crappy brake rotor since 03. Price those Brembo Rotors Yea right

My Rotorpros (EBAY ohhhh) have lasted twice as long 4 times as long as those BS Brembos
