Default Are these rotors any good?

I see them being sold on eBay all the time, but I'm not very well-versed in braking mods.

I want to replace my stock brake pads to eliminate/reduce brake dust and the price seems to be right on these rotors. I think they'd look sharp under my Kinesis wheels I'm picking up via the group buy in February, but I'm not going to bother if they wouldn't do any good.

Default Zimmermann cross drilled is a pretty common aftermaket rotor...

but I would buy them from the Adirondack Auto Brokers. They are AW sponsors and the price is about the same.<ul><li><a href="http://www.germanautoparts.com/">Adirondack Auto Brokers</a></li></ul>

Default Re: Yes...

I have a the front AND rear pair for my car. While I was at it I also bought the Mintex Red brake pads. I bought everything for front and rear including pads from Adirondack Auto Brokers for $365 shipped. They are very good. The reason I bought them is they were a better product for about $100 more than stock equipment with Mintex Reds. Took me a little bit of time to get the rear calipers to go back in (I still don't know how I did it), but everything else was cheese. The Zimmerman Cross Drilled rotors have worked out great for me and they seem to stop better (slightly) too.
Also dust is no more!!
