Default is this stuff any good?

Im in need of new brakes and Im debating on getting my current rotors turned by napa for $18 a peice. I was looking on ebay and saw these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DODGE...1%7C240%3A1318
Do they look decent, would you guys pay that? I dont want something crappy that Im gonna have to replace after a few months. WHat do you think?

Also, I need a new track bar. What do you think of this. Im on a budget and cant afford a $200 track bar. Says it has a 1 year warranty too.

And I need new hubs because my wheel bearings are shot. What do you think of these? Any good? ALso, would these even work if i have ABS or do i have to buy hubs for ABS? thanks guys

I would stay away from drilled rotors as they crack really easy the slotted rotors are fine, as for the other stuff good prices but don't know what the quality of the parts are. Just my 2 cents.

I am positive you could go to oriely's or advanced, and get your rotors pretty cheap.

I wouldn't buy those rotors. As far as the hubs are concerned if you have front wheel abs
then you need to get front hubs with the abs connectors.

Don't know what part of the world you're in. If you're in an area where a lot of salt is used on the road, you MIGHT want to stay away from cross drilling. I've had them for some time and have noticed no cracking. Of course, in Texas, we don't salt the roads in the winter. The ones in the picture have nowhere near as many holes in them as mine have. Excellent price though ... free shipping, too. Might have to get me a pair.

Don't cheap out on brakes. If you do, you wont be the only one paying for it.
