A while back I posted a question about whether or not anyone had tried the $150 for four rotors and pads advertised on ebay. Well, last week I ordered them and had the folks at Bilbo Automotive install them.
Other than having to grind down some of the surface rust on my hub and calipers, the rotors and pads fit perfectly. The slots make a little noise when you apply the brakes at high speeds, but the braking is much stronger now.
My prediction was that these would be less grabby then the 30 year old pads and rotors, which they are. You can apply more brake pressure without having the front wheels lock up.
The guy put them on sale for a while, so i paid $150, they are listed at $165 again.
