I just got my drilled and slotted rotors from R1Concepts on Friday. I installed them that afternoon. Man they make a difference. Found out the my front rotors were probably about .010" warped. Braking is awesome now, no fade, no shaking. 100% better performance than stock.

i think the next time i need rotors.. i'm moving to the R1s. First time i did bendix, and they were HORRIBLE. warped, pitted, turned to crap in a year. now i'm on duralasts. they seem good.

I would suggest R1's to anyone. It cost me about $219 for all four. I also went and got Duralast Gold cermic pads all around, for another $75 or so total. The price was definitly worth it.

I have the same setup. Definitely a good and noticeable upgrade and worth the money. I got my rotors for $119 for all 4.

Did you get yours from R1Concepts or Ebay? I didn't want to go with the Ebay cheapies. The ones I got from R1 were some other brand, they had cut out the brand name, but left the part number. I have a hunch they were actually Baer Decela rotors that you can get from AutoZone. They were more expensive at AutoZone though.

What about steel braided brake lines? Anyone know where to get those? R1 doesn't have them for the ho.

I just found that post a few minutes ago. PFYC has them from Goodrich, but I was looking to see if I could find them cheaper, $104 isn't bad if it's for all four.
