new brakes installed

[#1taho]

I finally got the drilled and slotted rotors. I got F1 euro rotors that are made here in Canada. from what I was told they are the sister company to R1. Either way they are zinc coated and slotted and drilled. Strength tested and two year unconditional warranty. I would have liked to get the R1 brakes but the dollar sucks way to much and I needed them badly. The brakes are still breaking in but WOW what a difference, I also bleed the brakes just to move the fluid and get fresh stuff to the calipers.


Pictures will follow when I can figure out how to do it.

I bought mine as a kit and upgraded the pads, I didn't like the ones they were offering all in $500 cdn

So $384 USD, not bad. Is that for all 4 wheels?

Yeah all four wheels. These are not the cheepiest out there but they say they are made with high standards and quality material. I will find out.

If those are the same as R-1 that zinc coating lasts. I have two winters on mine and the rotor hats are completely rust free.

I'll be doing mine in the next week or so. How much better at stopping your rig are they compared to what you previously had?

I can`t really say how much better they are because i also upgraded to the 07+ calipers,rotors and braided stainless lines when i replaced the brakes. But the difference was very noticeable.
