Brembo Rotors On...??ebay??

[1WhiteOSV]

Alright...I know there's a lot of garbage rotors on ebay that just suck and are generic, BUT I was doing my random "alero" search on Ebay and saw these:

Now...what are your guys' thoughts/opinions? Are these real Brembo's or they crap ones that come in Brembo boxes? I tried searching for slotted/drilled rotors for the Alero/GA on Brembo sites and came up with nothing which leads me to believe these are fake...plus $200 for all 4 rotors is cheap as hell if they are Brembo's.

Here's the actual link to the auction:

BREMBO EBAY AUCTION (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7937247689&category=33564&sspagename=WDVW#ebayphotohosting)

Don't quote me on this, but its just an observation. I did a little research and found some photos of Brembo brakes. The brembo brakes look to already have a zinc coating or some other coating on them out of the box, so I'm not sure why these people would offer to put one on for free. Anyhow, heres the pics. YOU compare.

the ebay ones arent brembo. as far as i can remember, like schimmel's pics show, you can only get drilled or slotted, not both, and they're already zinc coated.

ya, i would be quite skeptical of these. I read the feedback from the buyers and there seems to be an issue with determining if they are real brembos, the seller does not ship them in "original" packaging, he ships them in bubble wrap and a ups box and there is no brembo documentaiton.........

skip the slotted/crossdrilled rotors, get slotted rotors

crossdrilled have a habit of cracking, because there stock rotors with holes drilled in them. plus you loose more surface area then a slotted rotor.

You can get Brembo's for the Alero on Tirerack.com I think they are just stock replacements probably not really worth buying.

but slotted eat up pads faster.......and if the rotors are drilled in the right sequence they are fine......

Nope you can get drilled/slotted Brembos on brakeworld.com. I dont think the picture is accurate on that site though. Not sure if the eBay ones are the same either.

Yeah, slotted rotors eat up pads faster, but cross drilled rotors are not really designed for the street, where they are heated and cooled unevenly. This will cause them to crack. Porsche came up with a solution for that, though, their rotors are cast with the holes in them and not drilled, saving the strength of the metal.

OH MY GOD!!!!! READ THIS FROM THE SELLER:

The rotors are drilled by us but the blanks come from brembo. What do
you need an invoice or something ?

That is pathetic...wow....NO ONE BUY THESE!!! THEY WILL BREAK! Well I knew it was too good to be true..at least the seller was somewhat honest. <_<
