Question brakes

i need some help on brakes. when i brake on high speed like 50 and up my car starts to shake. my brother said that i need to replace my rotors. has anyone heard of a website called www.turboimport.com. i went there and i found a pair of front and back rotor for MKII for only 229.00 and 15.00 for shipping... sounds like a good deal.... what do you guys think? anyone with experience? thanks in advance

the brakes are the likely culprit, but remember that the vibrations can come from worn/broken front end parts as well.

ouch! there's no brand name listed and I see no purpose in 'dimple drilling'. Personally I'd prolly just grab a set from a parts store
case in point - http://www.partsamerica.com/SelectPa...r=Disc%2FRotor
they may be a little more expensive than the internet rotors, but if anything is wrong you don't have to wait for more shipping.
