They're 3rd party machined brembo blanks. Basically someone bought the blanks and stuck them in a CNC... they're not the safest things in the world since they're taking out material where brembo put it.
^^ Yea what boilermaker1 said is right. I don't think Brembo makes both cross drilled & slotted rotors either, just either slotted or cross drilled. About the ebay rotors, thing about those is that when they cross drilled the Brembo blanks, its been drilled right through instead of drilling half way or something like that. What happens is that over time it can crack where the holes are (ebay rotors) and they tend to rust so if you do get them, paint the area where the stud holes are and maybe the side of the rotor with wheel paint that can withstand high temps. Hope that helps.

Rep Power: 319 Zinc has a gold color. If they are zinc plated, why are they so silvery looking? Because they machined the zinc off and your left with regular carbide steel which is not worth the money you'll pay in shipping. Go to brembo's website, you can by rotor from them (or at least I did about 3 years ago) and they were not that expensive, like 40 bucks a rotor or something like that.

Rep Power: 425 ^^^ News flash... the Zinc coating comes off the first time you hit the brakes.
The difference is that brembo has the holes or slots made into the casting mold. They cast them like that, it doesn't leave any marks or microcracks from the machine tools, and they've got the material built up in such a way that the features don't cause problems. I assure you that Joe Schmo Ricing isn't doing finite element analysis on where they put the holes.

Rep Power: 319 Yeah I know the zinc comes off, but those are brand new rotors and thus should still have the zinc coating, therefor they have been resurfaced buy who ever and thus are not as good as "brand new" brembros

Rep Power: 0 ...and brembo wont know what you're talking about if you claim a warranty on them.
just like what they said, someone bought a brembo blanks and drilled on them.
Id rather get the Pro Stop by PowerSlot.
