for those that have purchased these rotors, can you give some feedback (including how many miles you have put on them and any other brake mods including pads & ss lines).

it has been a while since i saw a similar post so i thought it would be interesting to see if your positive feedback holds up months after you've purchased them. thank. you

Price is tempting,but to put my life on the line for a product from a country that is known for shady craftsmanship on things the produce.... I would pass.

I have witnessed others that purchased these with negative results such as stress fractures. Not recommended..

From my experience, I have researched extensively for all Busa aftermarket parts, always heard negatives with regards to these type of deals.

Here we go, this is the 3rd thread about this in less than 2 weeks.
After scouring threads on this board, the blackbird board and the VFR board I came to the conclusion that many people had something negative to say, but virtually nobody had any real proof. I saw one picture where a "cheap" rotor had started to fracture at the rivet. In the same space I saw lots of reports of warped OEM and high dollar units.
So with that in mind I purchased a set of the "cheap" wave rotors off eBay along with the cheaper sintered pads (think EBC HH) from Sixity (also on eBay). The whole lot including shipping cost me $275 ( 3 rotors + 6 pads). I'll attach pics, but the fit & finish is excellent, and now that I have put a few miles on them, I'm very happy with the stopping power.

I don't race my bike, if I did, I would probably buy the best equipment money can buy just in-case it made a difference. If you have the money to spend on a top of the line Brembo system, then more power to you, but what my research showed me is that that I'm no worse off than OEM rotors.

Nice photos. My economic philosophy is to stay within my budget without buying "bad" product. Instead of $100 jeans, I buy $35 jeans. I can't afford a $600 Arai helmet so I bought a good helmet for 1/3 the price. My choices aren't top of the line but they do what they're supposed to do and I can afford them.

If these rotors aren't inferior, then I would purchase them and use the savings for something else. If I start hearing people say that they don't do the job they're supposed to, then I would look elsewhere. JMHO
