Whats the consensus on “eBay” parts? More particularly, rotors and and brake pads? I’m already buying some parts for the Z, so I’m just gonna get the brakes out of the way right now as well. I priced rotors and pads from some of the 300zx vendors and from eBay as well. The eBay parts are about half the price, although they’re obviously not a major brand name. I’m just concerned about quality and I’m wondering if anyone has tried the “generic” rotors from eBay. I don’t want them to warp easily, but then again I’m selling the Z so I’m not really looking to spend $500+ on a brake kit.
I have never had a problem with brake products from ebay. Actually I have been happy with the performance of the products I have purchased their. However, please do not buy D/S rotors.
Drilled rotors actually hinder performance. Slotted is the only way to go other than OEM.
Really? I read that drilled are better for street use, while slotted are best left for for track use. Something about the slots on the rotors eating profusely away at the brakes when they’re used for daily driving. I’ll see if I can find the site where I read that.
yes and no. depends on if they were engineered that way, or in the case of most people, bought from a 3rd party company. Brembo and stoptech rotors are designed to work. hence why ferrari, porsche, lamborghini, etc use brembo rotors that are crossdrilled, and they do so with great sucess. more most street applications your common brembo blank, or OEM rotor will work just fine and provide optimal performance. when it comes time for new rotors for me, its oem blanks with a quality pad.
