Been running R1 Concepts drilled and slotted rotors all the way around for years now. Put on Wagner Thermoquiet pads.

what ft lbs is that impact? I got one the other day and didn't have any luck with getting that nut off. I got the 350 ft lbs and there was another one for 450$ that was 700 ft lbs.

This one here is rated at 800 ft lbs. It'll break loose just about anything LOL
Location looks amazing. Where at?I was finally able to get some time on hand and get the steering wheel clock spring installed and the day after that got the pass side hub assembly installed. The hub took me longer than expected, doing it in the font yard with no air tools was not the best scenario but I didn't have time to wait 2 more days till the shop opened up for me. Thanks to my neighbor who has a lil more weight than me was able to help my break the hub nut off after an hour and half cranking on it with my cordless 1/2' drive impact and not getting anywhere. He finally thought that he should break out his "cheater" bar that was a handle off his jack that's about 3 ft long. Finally broke it off and put everything back together. Plus it was raining on and off that day I was working under a make shift canopy I tapped up to the Tahoe. Something that should take me 2 hours tops took almost 5 after running around and thinking about ways to break that nut off while not having all the right tools.
Got out today on one of the first good days we have had in a while and shot some pics.
In those years, have any complaints about the R1 rotors? Saw a good price on them on amazon.

none at all. long lasting and a vast improvement over stock. Definitely a lot of bang for your buck with them. @Freedom Motorsports is also a vendor on here and sells them

I keep seeing the R1 Concepts rotors on Amazon at what seems like very low pricing. I'm always suspect of critical components (like brakes) with pricing that seems to good to be true. Good to know that they're actually decent!
