2005 New Frnt rotors + metallic pads $56

Local Auto parts charges $50 a rotor, it's like buy one & get one rotor free, free metallic pads, and free shipping in 3-days.

Ebay specials $56

I could be cautious about cheap brake parts.. its very true that you get what you pay for... brakes and tires are two areas i wouldnt go cheap on, after all, those are what keep you and the other drivers safe on the road.

It looked like good steel rotors + Pads to me, there was no name brand on the box, it was probably waiting for a rubber stamp!
Got 130K miles out of the original, I guess will see how long these will last.

It really depends. Some parts do last regardless of their cheap prices. If you're buying on e-bay, carefully check the vendor's profile if they're credible, have a very good feedback or not though. Glad you got a great deal!
