Default ebay brake rotors

My front rotors are pretty shot but i got some SR performance (I think thats it, I don't have them around right now) with the car when I bought it. They are cross drilled and I know that they are prone to cracking/shattering. If this happens whats gona get damaged if anything. I was wondering if it was a bad idea to thow these on till I do a brake upgrade. Any impute is appriciated
Thanks

Default depends how you drive...

If you aren't tracking or doing panic stops for fun, you should be fine for the street for as long as they last. I don't think you'll break anything that wouldn't otherwise get replaced in an upgrade. Always replace pads/rotors at the same time and do a proper bedding to increase performance and longevity.

Default You will be fine...

I used cross drilled brembos for 30k miles. They didn't wear as well (or brake as well) as normal brakes but no cracking or anything crazy happened

Default 3rd. You will be fine. Catastrophic failure is VERY rare.

I've run x-drilled front and rear rotors from ebay. Ran them on a TSD rally beater... drove hard, cooked the brakes many times, smoking, red hot, etc. Never an issue.
