Front Brake Shoes

Looking to get some new shoes. Haven't checked mine out but they're grabbing unevenly every now and then and haven't been replaced in a long time. From reading other discussions I'd like to get a set that is cut...like has diagonal grooves in the material every few inches to let mud and junk flow away from the braking surface. I can only find them in conjunction with a rear set of pads and I just replaced mine a few months ago!

Found these on Ebay

They're mad cheap! Am I going to 'get what I paid for' with these?? In a bad way, or will they be fine?? It says right on there 'for better quality, look at vesrah.' That is not very confidence inspiring!! I'd love to get the grooved set but don't want to pay for extra junk I don't need...got enough junk laying around that I don't need!!

before i went hydro, i had the tusk carbon shoes from rockymountainatv.com, they worked good for 20 sum bucks
 
I have seen EBC brand shoes on e-bay. Some are grooved and some not. They are around 20 bucks I think. I have seen them by them selves. Look up EBC shoes, keep looking until you see some grooved ones. I'm a rookie with computers or I would post link, sorry.
