Default $8 Ebay Front Brake Rotors

Has anybody run these before?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/351012606339

I just bought 4 front sets for $70 total, might as well give them a shot I guess.

I'm still on stock brakes other than Raybestos ST43 pads, so front rotors keep cracking on me.

Looks interesting....Let us know the weight once you get them. And also if theres any odd vibration once installed. Also a long term update after trashing it around town or track

I had a set of rotors that cost me about $10 a piece once. The manufacturer of them "Replacement" cracked it within 2 sessions on track lol. I'm running the autozone ones now with the 2 year warranty. Just did 3 Sebrings days, 2 PBIR days, 1 Daytona day, and 3 autox events before they cracked.

The only update I have so far.

Shipping weight was 114.7 lbs for 8 rotors. Assuming 2 lbs of packaging, that's ~14lbs per rotor (yes I'll weigh them when I get them, and compare to some semi-used oem's I have laying around.

The crazy thing is,they were $70 shipped. And they're coming from Canada.
I feel like it'd cost more than that in shipping alone to ship 114.7 lbs from Canada to Florida ha

Someone found my rotor deal! I have two sets of these. Going to throw a set on in a few days so I will report in.
For reference I have stock brakes with Winmax W5s and I've never cracked a rotor at the track.
It blows my mind how for $8 shipped they are not losing money.

This guy is running them on his CR right now:
