So I am pretty sure my driver side rotor has gone bad... every time i turn it makes a large grinding sound, and when i looked it has a deep slot all the way around... :/ anyways i found this deal any one have any experience with these or the brand? http://www.ebay.com/itm/FRONT-KIT-GOLD-ZINC-Slotted-Drilled-Rotors-AND-Ceramic-Brake-Pads-/181157796733?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A2002%7CMake%3AToyota%7CModel%3AHighlander%7CSubmodel%3ALimited%7CEngine+-+Liter_Display%3A3.0L&hash=item2a2dd89b7d&vxp=mtr

This probably belongs in the GRM section...

Even the cheapest rotors will get the job done, it's hard to go wrong making them. Most of the cheap no-name brands are probably made in the same Chinese factory Me and many of my friends race on them with no problems (other than what you might expect from their design - you can get good aftermarket rotors with better venting and slotting etc.).

Easy to go wrong making pads though, so don't expect anything more than bargain-basement performance from those.

stay away from drilled and slotted rotors for heavy vehicles. They will be more likely crack and cause long term braking issues because you're losing surface area and heat sink material to look pimpy.

This. I had slotted ebay rotors on my Escort. Worked great. I'd just stray towards regular rotors.
