    What is the difference between like Brembo slotted and drilled vs Ebay slotted and drilled :shrug: :confused:

    They both look the same and the price is $100 - $200 more depending on where you shop.

    there was a very informative thread about this recently if youu want to search...but what i learned is cheap rotors off ebay use cheap refurbished metal and when they are crossdrilled and slotted, that makes them even weaker leading to cracking.

    when you say ebay rotors, are you referring to some off brand? if so, why would you even consider going cheap on something like brakes? Go with he best and nothing less IMO

    I would just be really weary of ordering something like brakes off of ebay. you really never know what your getting, and theres alot of false advertisement and misleading titles and descriptions

    If you're road racing, get only the slotted type. Cross-drilled ones will hurt your braking performance (less surface area for cooling), and will often crack around the holes quickly because of this. :(

    If you only care about bling, it doesn't matter which you get.

    If just for around town, cross-drilled and/or slotted are fine - you'll have no problems and they'll look good. :nice:
