Anyone ever purchase the Front Brembo brake rotors from eeuroparts on ebay? It seems like a pretty good deal at $69 for the pair. Just wondering if it was a bait and switch situation (knock-off) or real Brembo rotors.

TIA,

If you want to be sure you are getting the real deal, Steve Haygood (www.stevehaygood.com) just quoted me $42 ea. for the Brembo's. I have found his shipping to be low, or included in the price, in past transactions. I don't know if this quote included shipping or not.

I did get a set but haven't even looked at them yet - will this weekend. 69$ was hard to turn away from.

I would stay away from 'eeuroparts'. I've done business with them before and regret it: ultimately, I never received everything that I ordered. They shipped about 50% of what was billed/ordered. A few of unreturned phone calls and emails later, I had to go to PayPal to get my money back.

Are those the guys in Lowell MA? If yes, I picked them up personally(paid in cash). The guy seems to be honest. I have all 4 brembos installed since November and they perform really good so far.

I second that question. gotta buy rotors here soon and i'd be nice to have an idea of what to get. heh, despite the pages of brake pad discussion i still have no idea as far as though go, so maybe rotors will be clearer.

Nothing, I think. When I did some research on the Brembo's vs. Powerslots vs. Girlling rotors for Daddy's Eclipse, I found out that they were all made by the same company called Bando, or Bendo, or Bondo or saomething like that. I can't remember, and I'm drunk on top of that. No sex since I'm out of town on business os I thought I'd check the board.

Balo? :)

Yeah, I think brembo = balo in terms of quality...BMA seems to interchange them. Both are fine...just fine.

Unless u go to a race track the only difference is in price and looks. That is what I've noticed after getting Brembos. The right brake pads make all the difference.

they have the same rotor from 50 something bux to over 100 bux, mattering on brand...there has to be "some" difference I'd think.

They are in Danielson, CT, NE corner of the state, great guys but a little hard to get on the 'phone, great prices free shipping, not too much E34 stuff however.

Just opened mine up (had them a week). The rotors look absolutely fine and include the needed bolt. I haven't put them on yet so stay tuned, I think they will be okay.
