Camry board raves about this and they just released a 23mm version earlier this year, as well. I have contacted MBarton who sells UR products and came recommended by several of the camry guys, and he said he didn't know if it would work on the avalon.

My 20x8.5 MSR 093s should be in tomorrow or monday at the latest and looking to possibly make a few more upgrades.

The majority of the brake stuff on ebay is made in china and modified after the fact. Very few ebay rotors are actually cast in place with holes or slots. Most take an oem style blank rotor and drill/chamfer it. That can cause structural weakness. The majority of those type of rotors are more prone to cracking, especially around the drilled holes. I would be careful with that stuff, especially considering how important brakes are.

I would agree and have seen the cracking for my self. Do your self a favor and dont go cheap on brakes. I like to drive what I buy and not baby it so stopping is important for me.

Ok, I figured the brake rotors were questionable, anyone have experience with EBC pads and rotors? Those are also sold on E-Bay and the pads come in green red and yellow with different compounds with different prices. I am getting the 20s on next week and want to stop just as well or better; the wheel tire combo I chose weigh ~50LBS and I am not sure what the factory combo weighs(too lazy to pull the spare over 100* with heat index even higher with good ole southern humidity).
