Brembo Rotors from eBay?
Does anyone have experience with Brembos from this ebay retailer?

They are priced right. About $110/pair with about $15 shipping for Brembo drilled & slotted. I am considering slotted-only, however.

that is a brembo blank rotor that that company machined and drilled in house...... BAD
if Brembo didnt make the actual cuts, then its a stock rotor with material removed and will not hold up well.....

From their webpage:
We drill and slot all the BLANK BREMBO rotors "in-house" with this CNC Machine. We receive the original blank rotors manufactured by BREMBO and use the CNC Machine to drill and slot these rotors. Please call us 1-818-344-4415 if you have any questions regarding this process.
I don't agree with Jim, as I think Brembo themselves do the same thing. My slotted PerformanceRotors are doing just fine, and I've been beating on them pretty hard the last 4,000 miles.

I Bought drilled brembo rotors from a large seller on ebay and they were fake (not brembo). They were advertised as brembo but were cheap Korean sourced rotors and look low quality. Look on the sellers feedback (I wish I had looked closely). In my case the seller had a 98% positive rating but several people had made comments that the rotors were not genuine (and for some reason they left positive or neutral comments that do not change the positve rating). Easy to check but buyer beware.

I'm pretty sure that Bembo rotors in general are machined, not cast. So the slots/holes have to get cut into the blanks at some point...
