My 2002 v6 needs new brakes. What do you guys suggest? I know its always you get what you pay for, but is this a good find?

That's funny I was looking at those earlier, they seem okay to me. I posted a little earlier on another thread saying a friend of mine got off brand drilled/slotted rotors on his expo and says they work fine.

I agree the e-bay parts seem really cheap. For the 2002 V6 stock parts should be OK. Couldn't you get the rotors resurfaced and put in new pads? The stock pads are apparently semimetallic but you could use ceramic if you want. This would cost more than the parts you are looking at. (~$80 to surface 4 rotors and maybe $120 or so for pads). You might try those parts from e-bay and see how they work. You wouldn't be risking that much money.

Keep in mind that if the calipers have gone through more than two sets of pads you may need rebuilt calipers.
