We've all heard the old adage "you get what you pay for" but I think I've officially become LvCs perfomance bargain hunter. I needed rear rotors and as usual - if I'm going to replace them, might as well upgrade them! So here's the item I went with, despite it's risky low-quality looking order page:

I ended up going with them because the seller had very good communication with me and seemed to know his stuff... and free shipping! They arrived VERY quickly and I was given shipping numbers for the whole transaction - as a whole I was VERY impressed for the dreaded Ebay!
Here's what I opened just 2 business days after buying it now (these were just one pair, I also bought rear):

out with the old in with the new.. everything fit beautifully (except one caliper pin had rusted and had to be replaced - they're not larger, the new ones are just on my shop stool)

nice i like but im trying to save up for the stop tech big caliper kit at ls koncepts
 
here they are back on the (absolutely filthy) stock wheels. They don't really do them justice. Especially because I didn't have time to clean everything up. Replaced the pads at the same time (even though mine were in fairly good shape still) with some ProStop Cermics from Pepboys (have a company account there for a discount!) then only had time to take them out and bed them in before heading to training for the night. I have to say they look PHENOMENAL! My cousin, brother in law, friend, and even my girlfriend were all impressed by their looks and their stopping power so far has been fantastic. I'm sure a lot of it is because the old rear rotors were pretty shot, but after the bedding in and a solid 50 miles on them just to test them out - I couldn't be happier, smooth progressive stopping with lots of bite, definitely better than I had stock when I purchased it. After 4 wheel drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads ran me just a tick over $220!! If I run into any problems with them down the road (i don't take it autocrossing or anything.. yet) I'll be sure to update, but so far so good!
Calipe painting will come on the weekend hopefully -- already been an incredibly hectic day.

i have these and got it from the same dealer. they tend to warp after a while but they last just enough, usually last around 1 year but for the price its good buy.
 
R1 Concepts is a good source for about the same price...and you can pick and choose between slotted/drilled which I like, since I did not want holes in my rotors.
 
I check r1 because there were a lot of review out there for them, but IIRC the were like 20-30 bucks more per pair. I didn't mine the drilled option, because like I said, I'm probably not going to autocross it or anything so I'm not too worried about cracking.
