Brembo doesn't make pads or rotors, they make calipers. Most rotors or pads marked Brembo or Lexus are probably OK and are made under license by another manufacturer to Brembo specs. However there probably are some counterfeits out there, and they probably would be listed on eBay. I have a set of counterfeit ND spark plugs sitting in my garage now bought from a Chinese seller on eBay. Since it took me over a year to discover the issue, Neither eBay or PayPal would do anything about it. The seller, welljob, of course, never responded to my messages and he is still selling on eBay. Even though eBay told me they were aware of the issue and said they pulled the seller's privileges. They, of course didn't, he is still selling.
Auto Zone should be OK. I bought another set of ND spark plugs from them, and they are genuine. I looked on the Auto Zone site and could not find the listing for ISF rotors.

The boxes say made in Italy on the Brembos rotors I got from the Autozone deal and the rotors looks to be high quality. If Brembo out source their manufacturing then I can't imagine this being too different from rotors ordered from partscontainer on ebay. I was also looking at these rotors from Amazon and other online sources and read an review from some where and they mentioned the box said made in Italy.

I went ahead and picked these up. The part numbers on the AutoZone site line up with the part numbers from the eBay auction I purchased the last set from. The boxes I got with that part number came in Brembo boxes and also said made in Italy. $334 shipped (I had a $10 autozone card too). Use coupon ROAD20 which is still valid for 20% off. Need to replace my rears soon so doesn't hurt to pick up a full set at this point for as cheap as they are.

Seriously man, we know they aren't made by Brembo as Brembo does not make Rotors, they're manufactured for Brembo which many OEM's are fitted with and most likely adhere to Brembo specs and QA, probably every 10th set gets QA'd as opposed to every 100th, the fact remains that if they are OEM, they're superb rotors and the price is a steal IMO.

Where are you guys getting your pads? I need to replace my rear pads and rotors soon and the fronts probably in 6 months. I notice the partscontainer eBay seller has rear rotors and pads for sale too. They mention "textar" pads so I'm guessing they aren't OEM?

Brembo might not manufacture them, but they definitely have a hand in designing them:

Interesting that you posted that diagram above for the Brembo rotors....... the weight shows 11.8 Kg = 26 lbs
They you look at the weight on the AutoZone website and it shows 27.6 lbs??
Anyone know the true weight of the rotors......

I didn't like the dust and the noise of the OEM pads. I hear the Textar ones are the same as OEM. I went with the Project U street pads. Getting them installed as I type this message. Reviews and people on this forum say they have low dust and no squealing. I will provide some feedback once I pick up my car and drive a few hundred kilometres.

I ended up ordering these through AutoZone, just bought the front 2 rotors as I think my rear rotors are good for over 100k at least.
Price ended up being $199 with tax included, used the 20% off coupon stated above and it saved me $46 on the order
To boot I bought a AutoZone gift card and saved another $20+ dollars on purchasing that so I ended up getting them for $180 total
Doesn't get any cheaper than that for the front two rotors @ $90 a piece.......
