I have purchased rotors for a friend off of ebay before. Not mustang ones but I will tell you what, ask A LOT of questions before you purchase. They claimed it was for year, make, model and when they showed up they were far from being like for like. Ebay tends to list a lot of crap.

i did once went with a company called r1 and thet where pretty decent compare to the expensive brand.it also came with pads but you have to break em in.dont just slap on the pads and slam on the brakes the first thin coat will melt on to the grooves.i didnt know this so when i called them they told me and exchanged the ones i got just paid shipping.
depends on the kind of driving you do daily is okay but track not sure..

I've gotten a couple sets off eBay and been happy. The 5 series Bimmers have issues with warping the rotors and I needed a set really bad so I grabbed a set of cross drilled/slotted rotors off there for $115 shipped and have been more than happy with them. Mine were actually cryo treated or listed as that. With my car being very hard on rotors it has no wear at all so I believe they are really treated so it was a great deal.

i would recommend this seller and their rotors, rotorpros. i bought a set of a C5 Corvette about 1.5 yrs ago and it's worked pretty good. it has never rusted out like most generic brands out there. the quality looks pretty decent too.

They're off-brand, TUV-rated, which means they're not DOT rated, hence the lower price. They might be fine, they might not, but for just a few bucks more, get some regular parts-store rotors that might even cost less if they're not drilled/slotted. Don't look as cool, but at least you've got peace of mind when you want to slow down.

don't forget that i warned you. most will rust after their "coating" wears off so do your research.
