Wierd rotors.
Have you guys seen ebay item 1923989209? They are cross drilled rotors and have a wierd pattern. Is that because they aren't slotten too or because they don't know what they're doing?

Those look like they gave a 5-year old a drill and told him to have at the rotor. But they are made in Canada, "not that China crap". Riiiiight, Nissin doesn't have a clue what they're doing. 
I'd stay away from them and wait for a deal on Brembos or something a little more reputable.

I would also be cautious about those rotors. They do look to be "home made" deals. In that case there is a good chance the rotors could develop cracks easily.
Brembo is for sure the way to go.

The actual braking surface area is reduced way beyond a normal cross-drilled rotor.
You have less area for the caliper to cover, so less braking power. Unless these are like 14" rotors, the difference between a larger rotor with less surface area and a normal size with the same amount of holes, there's less to be gained from these.
I think Manaray has a brake group buy going. Bigger calipers and rotors (I think cross-drilled) for less than the price of a big brembo set.
