They said they are going to replace, but the replacement process will take a minimum of 10 business days. Tomorrow is day 10.

i need new brakes and have been looking at R1 Concepts since many people seem to say good things about them, but after seeing a defect on the rotors would you still recommend i go for them or look for something else?.

The reason I bought them is because of the good reviews. The one rear rotor has either porosity in the casting, or the machinist started to drill in the wrong spot. R1 Concepts is replacing it, it's just taking a little longer that I would like.

Everything also looked like it was good quality. The fronts are on and feel great.

I have a set of R1's and haven't had any issues in over two years. Although I can't tell much difference in stopping power.

This is resolved. R1 sent a replacement. I did not need to send the defective one back.

Very nice!, Did you notice any difference in stopping power? compared to Stock?

Honestly, my brakes were in such bad shape, any new rotors and pads would have felt better. I'll have the rears installed this weekend.

I ordered a set (don't believe they were R1s) for my STS-V and had some issues with a rear casting inside where the vanes are. What was interesting was the company sent a new set of front and rear rotors (I only had issue with one rear) and told me to keep the original set. I wound up with an extra set for the vehicle.

It seems they didn't want to mess with the return shipping (these things are heavy) or disposing of the old rotors.

I'd definitely contact the vendor and request a new rotor.
