My rotors and pads are done. Is this deal too good to be true?

I was looking for new rotors and pads, mine are at the warning zone so its pretty urgent. I found this on ebay cause I dont want to pay duty taxes from the states.

Is this too good to be true?

You can probably get a better price from these people: ROTORPROS - Performance Brakes - Brake Pads, Brake Rotors and Brake Kits
Call/Email them to get a quote.

or search amongst the many discussions both here and on the web as to why low cost drilled rotors are generally not a good choice

Let me know what the quote is like. (Or someone else who bought, just tell us what it cost you!) I probably need rotors too, so I'd be down for a group buy of some kind, if the price is right.

I bought a set of front rotors, cross drilled and slotted, about a year ago. The cost was around $120 for a pair. They were offering deals if you also got rears and/or pads at the same time.

Thanks, just nice to have an idea. Price seems decent at least, and I probably would be buying 4 rotors + 4 pads ...

If your in the Mississauga Area, check out JRP, I got EBC Sport rotorsm and red stuff pads for a good deal, They are dimpled, not completely drilled through, so you dont have to worry about cracking. Please dont ever look on EBAY, unless for cosmetic's of the car such as small cf accessories.

I'm sorry, I reported my rotors were cross drilled. They are not. They are dimpled. I believe cross drilled are an option.
