cheap brakes and pads on ebay?

I saw this set of rotors and pads on ebay and was wondering if its total **** or if it was good?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1
i dont need them to be drilled or slotted but i need a set of front and rear rotors so it seems cheap $50 a corner. i just wonder if they could be that bad? how could someone sell cheap brakes, it would be ilegal if they didnt work well. well anyway i just want to know sugestions for a complete brake setup for my gslse suspension upgrade.

I recently purchased some eBay rotors and pads but went for slotted rotors and Axxis MM pads from different sellers, I wanted a decent pad, so far so good.

you might get lucky and get something decent, but i don't skimp on brakes and suspension. that **** can kill you or wreck your car if it doesn't work properly.

the extra $200 is well worth it for the piece of mind. for me, anyway.

Perhaps it is just me, but I don't like skimping on anything when it comes to my seven's. I like to think that I bought the best of my ability when it comes to what I am buying for my cars, which is why my mod list is so little.

there's a difference between skimping and saving money. i have an ebay txs ripoff blow off valve that works perfectly, and a ball bearing innovative gt66 turbo. save money where ya can, but brakes and suspension are safety items.
