R1 Concepts' Premium Brake Rotors

Has any one ever used these rotors? I see them on ebay all the time. Just didnt know if they were junk or not. I did a search but didnt find much.

They are a vender on here as well....so id watch about making judgments on a product you most likely have not used.

I have not used them, so i cannot judge, but i am leery of things that seem to good to be true.

Nope not garbage. Ive had them for a little over a year with the HAWK street pads or whatever. They are a little noise for the first 500 miles or so. They are great. Im hard as hell on the brakes and this combo has been great. Not cracks or warping of the rotors here. Break fade....? whats that I have had that issue since ive had the combo. I give em an A+ Now i havent used them on a road course but I have used them on an autoX session. They definite did there job well. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. I figured some one had used them and would be able to let me know.

Thanks guys

How do you resurface slotted and/or drilled rotors? Ive never seen this done before!

take it to a guy with a resurfacer and have him cut them... he didnt seem to have any problems with them. i was with him while he did them all. I guess with over 20 yrs as a mechanic, 15 of those as a suby master tech, you push the envelope a little bit where others dont think they will work
