Brembos on Ebay

I was wondering how you can tell the difference between the real brembo rotors and the fake ones on ebay. I know people say not to get ebay rotors but if they are really brembo they'll be good and at a really low price.

Anyone have any experience with this?

A link would be nice. The brembo's I've seen on ebay are the real thing. My friend ordered front and rear drilled/slotted rotors off ebay for under $200. They were the real thing.

post a link...

real brembos dont come DRILLED/SLOTTED, either drilled... or slotted, one or the other...

also they have a BREMBO stamp on the hub, which could be brembo blanks x-drilled...

So you never know. I got mine from tirerack, so I know there REAL brembos.

real brembos dont come both drilled and slotted from the factory, but aftermarket brake dealers can drill and slot them....

I bet they are real Brembos but they use blank rotors. Then some third party company takes care of making them drilled/slotted.

i dont know much about rotors but does it matter the size of your rims meaning you would need bigger rotors? or do they all fit stock size and lets say 17"

if you buy from a guy with good and high feedback on eBay is is most likely to be real. I sell on eBay so I should know. Also if something sounds to good to be true, it probabally isn't

If you guys haven't heard of RacingBrake, I would check out their rotors:
http://www.racingbrake.com/NISSAN_MAXIMA_s/259.htm

They offer different kinds of surfaces, and their great quality rotors.

I got mine from TireRack.com, their real and their priced well.

no problems so far, just make sure to clean the oil off the new rotors once you get them with some brake cleaner, otherwise you pads will suck
