differnet rotors for C5 swap?

just wondering if there is a real difference between differnet rotors. I'm comparing this against the stock cross drilled rotors for the c5


here is an aftermarket company which meets or exceeds all OEM specifications for pretty cheap. They are also powder coated. I'm thinking this would probably just get worn off if you ask me< maybe not?

here is the ebay link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...6649117&rd=1,1

here is the stock rotors with pads http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...9454662&rd=1,1

sometimes you get lucky, but im a FIRM believer in

"you get what you paid for".

if there is a massive price difference in a given piece of equipment, there is usually a reason. if the company says they are up to OEM specs, and have a warantee, you should be ok with the parts.

the oe ones you listed seem to come with pads and that is why theuy cost more.

Blake, I have the GripForce rotors on my car and the C5 brakes left some flat spots because of a few panic stops. The shine is holding up and I have no problems with them so far.
