Hi guys,
This is my first post as i registered yesterday so hi to all. My first question, i need rotors all round, ive been given prices of $59ea front and $65ea rear, before tax this is $248.. So i did a bit of research and that seems a normal price. I went on ebay and found these.. they are made by what seems to be 'some guy in a shop with a cnc machine'.. what do you think ? or should i stay strictly within known brand names ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Volvo-S60-B...tem230219407668 thanks russ |

Personlly, I would stick with a name brand. Why take the chance with something like brakes? Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, and even then you can get name brands shipped to you.

I agree with S60 R. OEM or better (Brembo, etc.)

amazingly, I agree with both of you guys. wow, must be mellowing in my old age. :grin: better to spend a little more for quality and craftsmanship, than go for some unknown entity with a cnc machine. hell, i wouldn't buy anything from me.

thanks guys,
i dont know anything about CNC machining, so i dont know how easy it would be to screw something like that up ?? Theres a couple of freelance people on ebay selling similar products, all with 1000's of good feedback. But your also right about the importance of the braking system.. leaving it in the hands of potential unknowns is kinda unnerving : / Cheers Russ |
