ive bought ebay rotors for my old saleen mustang and they worked great! ive read about a few people on here that also used ebay rotors and said that they worked better than oem. I am planning to buy a set of ebay rotors since i dont want to pay 1000+ for brakes since I will never track my car.

The worst that would happen is you would crack a rotor and typically you can feel that before bad stuff happens. But I wouldn't use them.

I have heard some good things about ebay rotors. Not used on an S2000 but on other cars, and people have had great results. No direct experience with any however.

It's not like the rotors are going to fall off and not allow you to brake all of a sudden if they are not so great. Worse case scenario really is they warp, or crack or something and then will need to be replaced.
Your not going to be driving along and all of a sudden you see your rotor flying down the road and then bam you have no brakes.

dont get ebay no names... make sure get something reputable.

I got ebay brembos for my prelude and never had a problem with years of autoX abuse. They came in brembo boxes and the part numbers checked out, so in my mind its not different than buying from a brembo dealer.
