Hey guys, so I came across these on ebay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/FRNT-RR-4-EL...item519d1a1a25

It's the same R1 Concepts Eline cross drilled and slotted rotors that are offered by one of the vendors on this site along with some ceramic brake pads. You think these pads are any good? Would they leave a bunch of dust

Hiyo,

Why not purchase from a vendor on the forum instead of going to eBay? Those pads are your standard generic pads, nothing special. Most people go Hawk HPS because it offers less dust than OEM but much better stopping power.

If you want the generic stuff I can get it as well.

I only browsed through ebay and just wanted to know if those pads could prove to be anything good as they are more than $100 less than the current package that you offer. But trust, I know If I decide to get the "good stuff" then I'll just get them through you.

I can get you anything regardless if it's "good" or not. I'll just tell you what I suggest but won't stop you from buying whatever you want.

You get what you pay for.

Why would you risk saving a couple of bucks when you dealing with something important - like Brakes
