Buying no-name drilled rotors off ebay is a recipe for disaster. That is all.

^ completely...If you want to go rather inexpensive on rotors pick up some from centric. They aren't drilled or slotted. However they do have a coating on the hat and the vein that keep it from looking rusted. So far mine have been excellent. Pads if you want street pads go oem IMO.

Dont buy cheap parts when it comes to your safety. OEM rotors are very cheap brand new and so are pads. They perform great in the street and can even hold up for track use. Dont see any reason to get other pads/rotors unless your cars a track slut.

cheaping out on products that are for your safety and others is a no no in my book. cheap out in a i/h/e not brakes.

Cross drilled plus slotted rotors are the worst thing you can buy. Under hard driving they will crack. You also will lose performance since you will decrease contact surface to the pad. If you still want the look I would go with slotted only rotors like stoptech slotted. Here is the link.
