where the parts come from doesn't matter as much as what brand they are, and how reputable the company is.

What brands are these pads and rotors you're looking at?

Be careful. Some of (not all) the eBay slotted rotors are name brand flat rotors modified by who knows.

I agree, you want to know what brand of product you are purchasing.

EBC is well known in the European market.
Their rotors should work as well as Power slots, Brembo, etc...
Their pads are a love hate thing. I have seen people who love them and others who hate them and, nothing in between.
