I should probably get new rotors then. I bought them off ebay like three years ago. Surprised they haven't split in two.
Rotors are really just a round block of metal I've bought Chinese rotors with out any real issues before some times they come warped and need machining but they are getting better about that. Lately I have not had any issues. They can wear faster sometimes the metal may be a Little softer then the originals kinda a crap shoot but with how cheap they are you can replace them easy enough after a couple sets of pads. I usually ran through one set of pads and if i had no vibration issues i will pad slap them again and then replace the rotors after a 2nd or 3rd set of pads or if they needed machining. But I always buy quality brake pads usually EBC black if available. I try to stay away form the cross drilled and slotted rotors as they wear really fast IMO.
