Default Ebay parts for XJ's

I need new front rotors for the front and I was considering buying from ebay. has anyone had any experience on ordering parts from ebay as far as quality goes? how do you think they would compare to advance auto or autozone? this is what i was thinking about getting.

Check the recall notices for your vehicle. For my 1990 there was a recall #702 (or something like that) and I got FREE rotors!

ebay parts are very "hit and miss". Because of that, I don't buy them unless they are a confirmed brand name.

For my aftermarket parts, I use NAPA all the way. If you have any issues, they are there to stand behind them.

For engine management sensors, I buy exclusively from Jeep except I buy NTK oxygen sensors from whoever has the best price. Never, ever, ever buy a sensor from ebay unless it is a confirmed brand name. There are tons of cheap charly Chinese sensors floating around in "the bay" that are completely worthless. Many don't even work out of the box.

There are a couple vendors on this forum that sell brakes. If you are looking for ONLY rotors, contact Serious Offroad. He offers some nice drilled and slotted rotors. There's another vendor that sells a package of drilled and slotted rotors with pads too for around $85

Agreed entirely on all points. There are so many scammers on Ebay I just generally avoid it for anything important. Sensors, "remanufactured" anything...no way.
