Default what u guys think of this drilled rotors

i need new rotors especially for the rear and i was thinking n getting this rear cross drilled rotors n blue but are they worth it and what u guys think of the paint, is it going to come off? or should i get them on silver? and for the front i am buying the tenzo kit. I think it might look good blue like this or should i go silver all the way front and back. the blue rear are from ebay and the tenzo are from tasauto. i have no clue how good the ebay ones are.

please make sure that the drilled fronts are authentic brembo drilled. some vendors buy brembo blanks and do it themselves ... which is extremely dangerous because of poor quality work.

Maybe I should make this my signature... those Brembos you have are NOT authentic. Go onto Brembos home page, you'll find the answers you need.

I personally would not buy something such as brakes from ebay. I don't think brakes are something to be risking it by buying the cheap imitations. That's just my opinion. Intake, light bulbs, air freshners, HP stickers, turbo sound makers... all that is okay from ebay... but brakes?? I don't think so.

yea, i bought some drilled knock offs off ebay also...i havent put them on yet.

the reason i got them was because i wanted a little bit more showy, plus i dont even abuse my brakes that much, i have never locked up my tires b4...

so i think im okay, match those with some aem pads.

and yea...i really dont think authentic brembo rotors are 2k. my friend got the authentic ones for 300-600 for a pair.
