On ebay their are tons of different rotors priced from $100-$400. Is thier any difference between them. Some even say brembo in the ads, but i can't seem to be able to find brembo ones on brembos web site... Any input would be nice, what kind do you run?

DO NOT BUY FROM A SELLER CALLED WHOLESALEPARTSDIRECT. I bought rotors from these guys for my dakota. They were supposed to be "Brembo" rotors. I got cheap chinese made rotors that they had drilled and slotted. When buying brake parts the best place to go is the dealer to get actual oem parts or from a name brand performance manafactuer like baer or brembo. Every cheap rotor i've bought from advance or any other parts store has had to be turned right out of the box to ensure they were perfectly flat. Spend your money on good rotors or listen to them squeal for ever!!!

No truer words have ever been spoken. Some of this offshore stuff is very good, but most is junk. But from a trusted source with a reputation for great customer service.
I would also stay away from drilled rotors. Unless you're racing the car, there isn't enough benefit to overcome the possible cracking issues.

Brembo doesnt sell crossed drilled or slotted rotors. they only sell solid ones. anything from Brembo that are cross drilled or slotted are done by outside vendors.
I bought cross-drilled and slotted rotors for my Lexus, on ebay from www.irotors.com . High quality, and they were even stamped brembo, in brembo boxes.

BEAR or BAER? Big difference....Baer is one of the best names in brakes.
