Anyone heard of MetalMaster?

I just bought some rotors from these guys for an amazing price. I got all four sides for $155 I plan on trying these out and if they're junk, atleast I didn't lose out on too much dough. Anyone have any comments?

Ebay

Never heard of 'em. Please keep us posted on these - that price is really into the 'too good to be true' range. If they turn out to be ok, I may just have to nab a set too!

No, there isn't. I went out on a bit of a limb, but for the looks and the amount of miles the Z sees. It won't really matter. He has about 100 positive feedback ratings, so who knows the quality.

Feedback ratings, from EBAY? Not to flame, but anybody can put false ratings on EBAY. Then again it could be a very good product but just not enough info on there site is what worrires me.

I think I do need them. I have put in high performance brake pads all around my car and they still squeek. It must be the rotors (never had them turned). I think its worth $155 just for they're look. Plus some aftermarket dust-free break pads can cause the stock rotors to overheat and then warp themselves. So I think its a great idea.

It is easy to fake feedback ratings, but he'd be wasting his money doing it. Every time someting sells ebay charges you for selling it. So yea, its possible, but I have a 58lbs package coming my way, and unless its horse feed than I'm ok....

They are wonderful!!

They look to be of very high quality and they look great. I'll get some pictures up soon. The only problem that I ran into was that I had to shave a little bit out of the center of the rotors to fit the back. But the fronts were great. They stop really smooth and are quiet. They have only been on for a day so who knows. But they'll definitely be great for a low mileage car for sure. We'll see how they last in the long run.

A+ job from MetalMaster

Still working great. Man do they bite. After about 2 seconds of braking without moving your foot you can really feel them steadily bite harder and harder. I'm happy with them
