Default Rotor opinions

Just saaw these on eBay, certainly a lot less expensive than brembo. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Magnu...Q5fAccessories

Anyone have any experience with Magnum rotors?

They would be going on a 93 si Sol.

Thanks ;D

No experience with Magnum rortors, but why do you want drilled rotors? I also think $85 is way cheap and you usually get what you pay for.

FWIW, I recently replaced all 4 of my rotors with Centric e-coated rotors. I'm very pleased with the look and quality. Cost a whole lot more than what you're looking at though.

These the ones?

Looks fairly inexpensive really. What are the advantages of the e-coating?

I'm probably going to order http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CIVIC...Q5fAccessories

But to answer yours question, without having ABS my rotors seem to tear through brake pads quite quickly especially when going from 100-0 in under 250ft. I see with this cold weather how hot the rotors have been getting. I think the ceramics may be the way to go as far as pads. I understand they stay a bit cooler than kevlar. This true?
