Default You get what you pay for

I am a great believer in quality & the general rule of thumb that you get what you pay for, however has anyone used the brake depot on Ebay as they appear to be reasonably priced but make be pretty rubbish!

The obvious question is are they worth purchasing? If so why, & if not why not?

Also are Aztec & Godspeed the general route that people tend to go down as they are often well thought of on SN.

I am also a user of Godspeed, I fitted the 2 piece front std sized discs on my brembo equipped sti, and I will fit Godspeed rear discs when needed, brakes and tyres are two areas I don't skimp on, I want the best from my car so I have to give my car the best I can.
