its time for some new rotors, i had the r1 concepts premier rotors in mind for a while but was not ready to purchase. for some reason i cannot get the premier series to load up on their site?

ive seen some where someone recommended brakeperformance rotors, i was looking at the premium dimpled and slotted rotors, with the semi metallic brake pads. i also want to get stainless brake line.

ive seen decent amount of good reviews on the r1 concepts, havent seen anything on the brake performance rotors. if anyone has them or has had any experience with them please advise me. thanks for the help!

I went through R1 Concepts, just use their chat feature or give them a call. Last time I ordered rotors they did not show for slotted, I used their chat feature and whether they did or not they said they made them for me.

Both are fine...I just bought from R1. The website gave me the same headache...I bought mine off Amazon.

I have the rotors with hawk pads. In the front. In the back I have the e line with their position quiet pads. Lots of bite surprisingly so when I had on my 26's. Only draw back is the pads are noisy when cold. After the heat up squeeking goes away. I'm going to continue to use the rotors but run oem pads soon.

Ceramic generally take a little longer to stop but dust less. Kind of a personal preference. Cleaner wheels or more stop.

I have R-1 E-line slotted and drilled rotors with posi quiet ceramic pads and couldn`t be happier with them after close to a year of use.
