Default Any long term update on Ebay Rotors?

I was wondering if anyone has long term update on Rotors you bought on ebay.

If you could included who you bought the rotors, how much, how long you had it for. Also condition of the rotors.

Thanks

Rotorpros.com, about 1yr ago, I think it was $2 or $3 hundred shipped for all 4, and they still look great.

same as above. Same time, about same usage. I went with Hawk Pads and my OEM calipers (powder coated red). No problems at all, not even noise.

I just don't have the cool Nismo rims...

Got a set of all 4 xdrilled/slotted from Rotorworks. I think it was less than $400 for all 4 (this is for Brembo calipers). Pretty sick deal, if you ask me. I'm also running a set of decent Axxis Ultimate pads I got from them as well. I've been running these rotors/pads for around 3-4 months now, including daily driving and a few AutoX events at the end of summer. They've been great so far!

Mine is a daily driver and I don't get to exercise the brakes that much. I think it brakes better, but it could be the better pads, the SS lines, etc... The main diff on the rotors would be heat disipation and I don't track mine.

Got my drilled/slotted from rotorpros (ebay), along w/ teflon/stainless lines. Switched to Motul fluid. About 5k old. No problems, rotors look great.
The Hawks were in about 500 miles before the rotors and developed a really annoying squeal. I scuffed up the pads w/ some 400 grit and reinstalled--squeal gone!
My car stops MUCH better and has much better pedal feel. Looks sexy, too.
