I was searching bus depot for rotors. They are advertising new brazilian made rotors for 26.00 and some change. It sounds too good to be true. If anyone can give me some feedback it will be greatly appreciated.

Please don't take this as a snarky comment, but I would expect you to get about $26 worth of life out of them...

Brakes are not a place to skimp and cut costs. I would only buy the German-made rotors.

I've put lots of ~$20 rotors on cars and they have all worked fine....no specific info on the $26 BD ones though.

Try them. I find the major difference between cheap and good rotors is how fast they rust away (an important thing in the Northeast) and how round they manage to stay (ex. pulsing pedal after one lousy hot stop that then hits a puddle (like a cheap frying pan the cheapies will warp).
