hey dude hows it going??

well, for that price they are pretty cheap but im not sure about the quality, basically you could try and see what they are like. Considering a good set of pads like hawk are about $100 for the fronts im sure these rotors are not the best. But they are cheap.

also there is a lot of debate if drill are a good idea, as with some heavy braking etc they heat up and crack. Idk if you would notice too much difference between a normal quality OEM plane rotor with hawk pads of something, vs these and good pads.

The only way to know would be to try. I have Bendix rotors which are the cheaper ones i can get in the UK but are £44 each so still about $150 for the front 2. and then some half good pads are $70 for the front so think yourself lucky you can get cheap ones.

Im looking at EBC groved disks and yellow pads next time, these are £88 pads and £197 disks, so about $500 just for front !!! :O
