Has anyone purchased these rotors on EBAY?

No difference that i noticed. I got them mostly for looks. I'm using EBC pads in the front and OEMs in the rear. They've got maybe 1k miles on them. I actually got the other set of rotors that the company offers that are a bit cheaper.

Slotted rotors are fine for street use, but drilled rotors are a liability. They crack about the holes and serve no purpose at street speeds.

If it is just for fashion......go head on, if you like the look.

Yes, the OEM rotors crack too. Mercedes considers minor cracks of up to one inch normal. They will not warrant rotors with those minor cracks.

I have the coated rotors on my van. They started rusting after a year. I don't see any real value in the coating.
