Default AU/BA/BF Big brake upgrade - anyone bought & used these

Hi just wanted some feedback on the disc rotor package that is being offered on ebay atm.

Good value if they are as quality as suggested.

Just cheap imports.
These guys would be making a killing selling those at that price.
There only your basic, G3000 cast iron rotors with a ground finish.
"Manufactured using highest quality materials" - No chance
You will get an uneven finish on the rotor face due to them having a ground machine finish, (however we are talking microns).
You will see a drop off in performance compared to the OE Brembo discs.
I would suggest having a chat with Matt from Race Brakes Sydney and see what he has to offer.

RBS had an awesome pbr c5 (BA MKI GT, xr6T upgrade etc) brake upgrade with db4000's and braided front lines for a grand last week. Best value/quality there.

I think the OP is only after replacement discs for his GT going by his display photo.

What have we been told repeatedly about assuming

The question is in regards to a project build on the go actually. I'll give Matt a call. Thanks guys.
