Agreed... this is definately someone with english as the second, or third language. That doesn't mean that it is a foreign supplier, but I would be suspect and move on to a tried and true supplier.

I bought a set of Cross Drilled Brembo front rotors and have not had a shimmy, jiggle, squeal or any problems. But I also don't race around or do heavy canyon driving either. The boxes in this ad look like they are IMITATING Brembos look. The Brembos I purchased were legit and I think I paid around $150 for the set. So, I guess I'm not really helping am I??

Try to find real Brembo rotors if you can. You can get them for the same money as these you have linked.

agree w/ coupemain, I also bought brembo's (the smooth ones) and they are reasonable. Just have to google around till you find them.

325mm are not the Brembo brakes. I did check the manufactures website and these are the correct part numbers that TRW quote. I also confirmed with them that this guy is a whole seller of their parts. Hes based out of California.

The parts should come with a silver tab water mark if they are the real thing. TRW say its unlikely there are counterfeits out there as the cost to produce and ship these is just not worth it.

I have ordered some and will give them a spin. I go through tires and front brakes every 15K so I'm sure I will find out fairly quickly if they are any good.
