The eBay stuff?

Rotors would do the job, but the pads for track driving might not the best idea.

I'm familiar with their stuff, good for the street.

I wouldn't trust ebay made in china stuff in something as important as the braking system AKA your life line when stuff goes wrong. especially if you're going to track the car.

Drill/slotted rotors really don't do jack. Looks cool though.

The brake pads.... Stick to what everyone has tried. Pretty much what's on tire rack.

drilled and slotted rotors work as advertised... only thing is the trade-off in durability particularly drilled rotors. I'm sure there are people who used them and never had problems. shit ive seen rotors with hello kitties etched into the rotors and they seems work fine for the owner. (presumably only driven to and from car meets and shows.)

For the pads, I recommend Ferrodos DS 2500 or the Hawk HP+ pads.
