Question Regarding Brakes
88 Rotors EBAY Link
I am about to change the front and rear brakes(rotors+pads) due to normal wear and tear and was wondering if anyone has any feedback on the set from 88rotors. Lexus is quoting $120/rotor and $80/pads and that seemed like a ripoff to me. The ebay ones definitely look better than stock and 1/3rd the price but are they really inferior to oem spec? The car(01 GS430) is a DD so I would do not want any funky noises, squeaks, or vibrations.
Any recommendations/tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

His feedback looks really good. I say try it. If you are going to install yourself make sure that you grease the correct areas (sliding pins and tabs on the sides of the pads) and they also sell an anti-squealing spray for the outside of the brake pads.
