I purchased a very similar set (no SS brake lines) from a guy on e-bay (donilam I think), and they have been great. I've had them for over a year.

I don't know anything about that seller.

yeah I got some slotted and drilled rotors from ebay and they are really good! I think there are better deals than that on ebay though for rotors. I got mine for 240 plus shipping.

heh, you can get rotors for ~$30 a pc at the auto store. They won't be all bling bling... but they will probably work just as well...

Zinc doesn't rust, so coat the rotor in it, and no rust! The only thing it affects in this case is rusting of the parts not in contact with the pads. Meaning that thole thing stays bling. Instead of just where the pads rub off the rust.

gotta be careful because sometimes they just drill out low quality rotors and they will crack / warp over time.

Autozone sells them for around $60, Tirerack sells brembo blanks for $40something.
