drilled/slotted ebay rotors?
I'm just checking to see if anyone has purchased and installed a set of the drilled and slotted rotors that I'm seeing on ebay? I'm getting close to that portion of my GSL-SE suspension swap on my 85 12a. Let me know what you've experienced, seen, heard.....good and bad. Thanks guys!!

I had a bad experience. Poor quality control, poor overall quality and the dimensions were just a tiiny bit off so it wouldnt actually fit over my hub. I would avoid them.
Check out re-speed or some legit shop.

I figured that they'd be cheap crap by the generic, stock photo that they use. Thanks for the info guys. Looks like I'll stick with the stock disks.

Stick with stocks. Reason being:
1. Never trust any braking products from eBay. I would buy a turbo from there before I even
searched for brake products. Rather blow oil all over the place than fail to stop.
2. 98% of drilled rotors are just that, drilled. If you like the look then get the rotors CAST with
the holes. Reason people get cracks in the rotors is because they bought blank rotors with
holes drilled in it (most times not even chamfered), which breaks the metal bonds that
basically hold it together.
