Anyone heard of "A Plus" or "A+" brand rotors?

It's probably chinese steel or worse.  I'd take whatever a ebay  
seller tells you with a huge grain of salt :-)  If you want to know a  
ton about brake rotors and stuff like steel grades and who makes what  
and how well... Mark Rosenkrantz is the perfect guy to ask. I cc'd  
him to raise it up on his radar.

For reasonably priced OEM stuff, try talking to Clair Parts Express  
in MA, or at least see what a Worldpac dealer like SJM will charge,  
and go from there.
