Default Alba brake pads and rotors?

Looking to replace my rotors and pads, and I don't quite feel like blowing the $200+ for Galfer Wave rotors.

Browsing ebay I came across Alba rotors that look similar to the Galfers, but are only $105 for a set of front rotors and pads. Anyone ever try these? Any thoughts good or bad? Just wanting to get a few opinions. I've seen a lot of other Alba products but never brakes.

Bought some alba pads for my yfz calipers when i put them on. So far they work great for the price havent checked the wear on them yet but for $20 for a set of front pads you cant really go wrong IMO.

I was hoping to hear a couple comments like this. As long as they aren't like some of the cheap ebay pads that people reported were down to the backing after 1-2 rides.

I have not used the cheap ebay ones and i have not heard anything positive on them.Which is what lead me to go with the alba ones because they looked to be a better quality than the cheap ebay one but yet they are still a decent price.
