I have seen someone at work, and heard many horror stories about eBay generic rotors. They are often made of low quality steel from China and are below manufacturers thickness requirements to save on steel. And no one needs any slots or holes(drilled) in their rotors for street driving of any sort. They are just points of failure that need constant inspection for cracks.
