opinions with Slotted Drilled Rotors on ebay?

Has anyone have any opinions or experience with the rotors that are selling on ebay that are between $79 to $120 a set. They seem cheap, but are they any better than the one you can buy at autozone for $90? I looking to upgrade my brakes for performance and looks, not much into racing.

1 you get what you pay for
2 if it sounds to good to be true it usually is

If you're talking about the rotors on eBay from Hawk's Racing, I am using them on the rear of my car and have a pair of 1LE front rotors that I will be installing. The rear rotrs have performed really well. No problems to report.

I put the AutoZone rotors on my car, waste of money. I can't report any change in braking performance with them on there, I might as well just have gotten regular rotors.

The zinc plating prevents the rotors from rusting and keeps them looking nice unlike the stock or non-zinc plated rotors.

Cross-drilled rotors will give you the looks but they won't help much (if at all) in performance. See this archived thread from Altimas.net.
