Is this a good buy?

Just found this on e-bay and Im thinking of getting new roters, is 200USD a good deal for four crossdrilled and slotted rotors? Any insight would be appreciated, thx. They are also plated with some anti rust stuff...is that 4 real? Would be nice since we have snow up here in the winter.

Do you realize that is for each rotor, which is not a good price...

check the box at the top for advanced imports, they have the same rotors for around $125 each

I got them! I got them! I got them!!!

I got them! They look freaking awesome, very shinny! Yes, all 4 rotors are cross-drilled and slotted, good quality (IMO). Just got them installed... braking them in... give me 1 week and I'll tell you how well they do!

Those of you who know me....

Those of you who know me.... know that I've been wanting to get digital camera for about....4 months now, ever since I got into this club... but still haven't gotten it yet... I can spend $1100 bucks on wheels, but find it difficult to dish out $200 for digital camera ! Anyways, I love it, my favorite thing on mods is probably rotors, especially if it's x-drilled and slotted and I finally found it! They look soooooooo freaking awesome and very shinny! Man, it sounds like I get comission or something....ummmmm maybe I should (lol). Some companies sell on either x-drilled or slotted, others have it only both, but only for the front.... I picked it up from the store in Santa Ana, So. California. They have a $70,000 computer/machine that does the cross-drilling and slotting and they also zinc-plate it, making the entire rotor protected from rust, except, of course the area where the brake pad makes contact. The company sounds very reputable, if I'm correct 2000+ pretty happy customers. Just got them installed yesterday... still braking them in slowly . I'm going to Chinatowns Showoff tomorrow and will take some pics of cars, hot chicks, and my car. If someone can teach me how to post pics on this page, I'll post pics by tomorrow, hopefully!

Cant wait for the report Protege5Lava! Yeah I was pretty sure that I checked to make sure that you get four rotors for that price...hmmmm now I really gotta consider these...probably going to get new fog lights first as mine are cracked.

BTW how much did you get yours for? They are charging me $65 for air mail shipping!! AHHHHHH!!

If you do this, just make sure you properly torque down the bolts that hold the calipers.
