Anyone ever heard a brand called "Brake Motive"?

I'm looking to buy a complete set of brakes/rotors. I found this on eBay, but haven't found much information on them. I'm a little weary of buying a brand I've never heard of, but I'm not opposed to it if it's worth the price. Here is a link to their eBay site: http://stores.ebay.com/Brakemotive . Thanks

John

My suggestion is to NOT cheap on something as safety critical as braking components...go with reputable brands such as Zimmermans, Brembo, Centric/Stoptech for rotor replacements.

If you are in a budget and don't care about slotted/cross drilled BS then Centric brand is the way to go.
Actually I have a friend who uses this brand for track days w/ good results.

Go rockauto.com and get Centric from there. So far they have the best pricing on centric rotors.

Not trying to be cheap, but smart with the money. If I can find a reputable brand at a decent price, then why not go for the less expensive price?

Thanks for the info about Rockauto. They do have decent prices. Are they trustworthy as far as sizes/styles necessary for cars?
