The noob comment was because you didn't post the link to the product of which you were asking. You simply cannot expect us to go to ebay and search to find the exact product your referencing, without a weblink in your primary post. That mistake is very noob-ish. Hence why it was brought up. Noob isn't a post count title, its a matter of attitude/etiquette/grammar. Attitude you got down, grammar is decent, etiquette is WAY off. You'll catch on soon though

This was posted, not as the litteral term of "FU" but in frustration to the fact that you replied to the post, again, without a link to the aforementioned product you wanted an opinion on. the FFFFFUUUU is a sign of frustration toward an event. (what the other member was referring to... we have a whole thread of funny comics involving this)

and as for the product... i agree with the previous statement. You get what you paid for, and considering its your brakes... I'd pay more then that to keep yourself and your car safe. Cheap products will cost you more then simply replacement parts.

I'm looking at getting some of these rotors:

And these pads:

But I most likely will end up getting the high end Cmax ceramic pads from AutoZone because I can easily warranty swap them out whenever they wear down.

You want an opinion, OK Don't buy brakes on eBay

Don't go cheap on brakes, but you don't have to spend a fortune either.

I got slotted and cross drilled rotors on Summit racing for $60 each for the front and $50 each for the rear Pads where $54 in the front, but I forget the rear. If you buy these, get the pads in the black box with purple lettering. I bought a cheaper semi-metalic set of pads and damn do I regret it. Sooooo much brake dust :(

I'm on my second set in the front, last set lasted about 15,000 miles or so. Pretty good for brakes
