 I've seen them too,and I need to replace mine. Its tempting at 1/2 the price of the EBC rotors,but I think I'll play safe and spring for the EBCs.
  There was a member on the SV1000 site that bought a pair with no issues. He had to wait a few weeks to get them,and I don't remember how mush he had in shipping. I guess I want to see made in the USA.

"I guess I want to see made in the USA." 

Then don't buy EBC.  They're made in the UK.  :duh:

I was debating this very same thing and went ahead and got the EBC rotors. So far they work as intended and are a brand I trust vs some Chinese guys sitting at home assembling their rotors.

My ex-wife's mom does production line assembly at home... making glue guns.

Well as long as they don't warp from heat they should be fine. Give them a shot and tell us if they are any good.

I've had them on my '02 for ~3000 miles.  No problems.
