Default Brake ??

Has anyone ever messed with the drilled slotted rotors sold by rotorworks on ebay? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DODGE...28058563QQrdZ1
I am in need of front brakes bad. I was pulling my 20 ft boat weighing in at about 1500 or less, on the way to the lake the left bearing started clicking, and the right brakes went metal to metal when the pad finally let go. Any reccomendations would be appreciated.

well, they certainly are low priced. stock rotors from autozone run about $40-45 each (with 2 yr warranty), so with shipping, these are not much more, and far below the price of other's performance brakes. i also see these only have a 90 day warranty. (summit has similar for about $100+/ea, also with 90 day warranty, other places have them for similar price ). since they are not a brand name - i would worry about them being so cheaply made that they quickly warp. but, i checked the ebay feedback and everybody seems happy with them. i don't know. anybody else ?
i'd sure like to know if they are any good or not. if so i'd get em too.

Change your brakes sooner.

I have to agree with theboags on this one, that bolt pattern just doesnt do it for me. dhvaughan stated that Summit has performace rotors, I've seen these in the newest catalog and they seem like the way to go.

I got an email from the seller.
He said the picture is of a univeral rotor and the actual rotor will only have the correct holes for the application.
I am thinking about giving them a try,may try to go with GreenStop pads though instead of his.

Did you replace the silver brake caliper clips when you put em on?
