they'd work.
go for it, that's pretty reasonably priced.
If i were you i would look for a review on it though, see if they are made out of cheap material.

you don't trust them to ebay. if you know what you're looking for then you should have no problems... but thank you both for the input.

for a little more you can get oems, and a little more brembos. plus theyre slotted and drilled - more of a cool thing to have then actually useful.

R1 Concepts is supposed to be good, just get the blanks from them unless you are racing and for some reason are using pads creating a ton of gas...

eBay or eGay it's still made in China so it's the same stuff as you would get from a local autoparts place.

The difference is what kind of pads you are gonna use? with that said I don't like cross-drilled rotors but that is my opinion.

Get yourself some ceramic pads and your good to go man.

If you ever change your knuckles to the bigger brakes from the 9.5" to 10.3" PM me cause I have a set of 11.1" brakes with calipers sitting and ready to be installed.
