For those who have ever bought rotors and pads from ebay
For those who have ever bought rotors and pads from ebay
from personal experience how are they? do they perform well or have they crapped out, fitment ok? Were they worth it because im looking at these (bottom link) and have to ask if the price is too good to be true? (dont bring up drilled/slotted thing again). Thanks
Re: For those who have ever bought rotors and pads from ebay
I bought R1 Concepts over 4 years and still going good. I will do a check up on my brakes in about a month, so I'll see if there are any problems with cracks. Try Auto zone for a guide or buy a Haynes manual, pretty easy to install brake pads. Just make sure you grease where it says to.

Re: For those who have ever bought rotors and pads from ebay
thanks, damn four years and still good is surprising, are the ones i chose any good just by looking at them, or would it be a hot or miss kind of thing.
Re: For those who have ever bought rotors and pads from ebay
I would think hit and miss thing, hell they are all probably made at the same place.lol

Re: For those who have ever bought rotors and pads from ebay
at least now i have some form of assurance and i can look forward to getting these. Did you do them yourself, difficulty? or did you get them done, how much? thanks for all the info
Re: For those who have ever bought rotors and pads from ebay
I swapped them myself. The calipers are held in by two hex-bolts, 3/8" if I recall correctly. Loosen them up, remove the caliper and the rotor comes right off.

Pretty easy to do brakes and rotors.

Re: For those who have ever bought rotors and pads from ebay
how about the whole piston compression thing? is bleeding the brake lines a must? do you have to put the bolts to a specific torque? those are my worries
Re: For those who have ever bought rotors and pads from ebay
I have never bleed the lines before, I just remove the brake fluid cap and put a rag around it, so when you use a C -clamp to compress the piston in the brake fluid if it does come out at all goes on the rag. As for torqing the bolts to a specific # I just hand tighten the hardest I can, there might be torque #'s , but I have never used any, mines a 96' so it uses allen wrench for the bolts, don't know about the 98+ . Also the brake pads should have instructions to put the grease in the right spots.

Re: For those who have ever bought rotors and pads from ebay
I looked around for quite a while before buying my rotors. Eventually went with these from WS6 store, mostly for the piece of mind of not buying them from e-bay. http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...oducts_id=1598
