Default Brake discs from ebay, anyone done it?

Was mooching, again. I know there can be quality differences between 'cheap' and 'expensive' discs, but wondered has anyone tried these or similar off ebay?

I purchased some rear discs from 2fast2cool off ebay. I didn't have high hopes as they were cheap but gave them a shot as it was only for the rears (used AP's on front) and they were bloody cheap.
Arrived and were perfect.



Think they were about £40 delivered, worked perfect and still looked like new when I sold the car two years later.

I've used CRN for the rears and they are fine - got PF's on the front though

What's the braking comparison between front and rears? On my previous clios you could fit paper plates and a block of yorkie as they didnt do much. F

rear of a 4wd/RWD car does far more than people credit - drive a std late classic STi with sliders on the back and then try an STi RA with the addition of 2pot rears and there is a world of difference

majority of Subaru's are under-braked on the rear as std IMO

Just got some vented and grooved Bremtech disks off ebay, seem ok, quiet which is important for me as I don't drive fast.
