http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...944347962&rd=1


Brembo rotors for a 4cyl Camry.... $91, only $25 shipping....

There are like 4 of them on one page, so it can't possible be the real thing. ANyone want some cheap knock offs?

I like the seller stating there are only two sets available, but you have a choice of four colors. What...

it could be, but you should know that drilled rotors are junk

unless you plan on constantly racing on a track, I recommend gettign stock rotors

the drilled rotors make you stop much worse. I speak not only from general knowledge, but from experience.

Regular rotors + good brake pads =

The eBay auction is legit or PayPal wouldn't offer Buyer Protection for this seller.

They're not knockoffs, they are Brembo blanks that got drilled afterwards.

I bought my Brembo slotted rotors from there, the rotor itself does have the word "Brembo" engraved on the side.

they're selling dreams and to some people that means more than substance,


have you ever had pulsating brakes, that's from warped rotors; I don't think you ought to buy something like that online unless it comes from a trustworthy source, if there is something wrong with them who are you gonna return them too.

yeah what Ekam said. I emailed another seller, about 3 weeks ago, on ebay selling similar brembo brakes, and he told me, they are real Brembo BLANKS, and they drilled it afterwards. not sure if it was the same seller, but the guy I emailed said they were an authorized seller of brembo brakes...and proved it too

plus, not all "cheap" stuff on ebay are rip-offs or crappy stuff. got my eibach springs (new)on ebay for about $100 less than other places

Cool

I like how when you aim'ed me that the first the we were laughing at was how he painted the rotor hats.

Why? LoL! You might as well paint the rotor surfaces too 'cause they're going to rust, then let the pad rub the paint off and give you a perfect little circle around the rotors!



Drilled rotors Drilled rotors off an eBay seller that looks like a tard?
For everything else, there's Paypal, It's ebaywhere you want to be.

Blanks? Meaning the equivalent quality of any other rotor, just with a name engraved into the side? And ones that may or may not be exact fit for your car (might be near fit like rims often are. They fit, but aren't the best to have)?

So not even worth the money unless I want a small engraving that says "Brembo"?
