So after doing the major repairs on my r33 its time to fix the other minor things for quality of life. I need some advice on a few questions 1. Is it better to buy rear hub assemblies(including wheel studs as somehow the previous owner stripped 1 stud both sides) 2nd hand or buy brand new 2. Are rotors being sold on ebay trustworthy as I saw some for $125. 3. What brand rotors are recommended for r33 on the rear (not too expensive for this apprentice mechanic life) 4. If I do get rear aftermarket rotors do I have to make sure they are compatible with my factory calipers (they have Bendix ultimates pads)

Fun story. I took the stagea down the south coast of NSW for some shows (I play in a band) had a great weekend and at the end decided we'd drive home (sydney) in the middle of the night rather than sleep in the car.... long story short: turns out throughout the course of the weekend someone tried to steal my wheels but failed and left the bolts loose so driving down the hwy at 100kmh (luckily not more) my passenger side rear wheels comes off, slamming to the ground and sliding to a halt and only just managing to get it off the highway. Luckily managed to get away with only damaged wheels and two snapped wheel studs, could've been worse. Moral of the story (tl;dr). Never trust anyone. Also if anyone has any suggestions of things I should get checked over once I get it back from the mechanic that would be great? As far as I can tell I got lucky and none of the body work or exhaust or anything hit the ground as the rotor fell into the wheel rim and the weight in the back (a lot) kept it within the wheel arch so brakes are my main concern I guess? -
