I've heard you have to double check the specifications with the seller.
Item description is for brake disc and in red brake rotor (single) disc, you have to put the quantity in when buying so would be $200+shipping for two

I know it says later a pair later in description but recon you would only get one disc, beware!!!!

They are also quoting 4mm thickness when new. Aren't they normally more like 5mm or so? Give it a year and they'll want replacing again if they are thin when new.

It doesn't say "single" anywhere in the description. Most chinese have no idea how to use the plural and singular forms correctly (doesn't really exist in their language).
As for the thickness, they usually missquote the disc thickness for the minimum thickness because that's what the trader sees stamped on the carrier.

You should always reconfirm everything when buying from dodgy chinese traders but I see no reason why this couldn't be an acceptable product. Maybe I'm wrong. I've heard about people receiving the wrong discs before frome the chinese but these issues are mostly communication problems more than fraud.
