    edit: I actually went with the OEM style and not drilled/slotted. I have any need for extra venting and would prefer the extended pad life.
    Tobert, I'm glad that they worked out for you.

    Thanks,

    Bart, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'd like you to be as informed as possible, whether or not your purchase the product.

    If you don't plan on buying our rotors, let me know who your deciding on. We are a manufacturer, so we do know a lot of suppliers personally. I'll give you my honest opinion about the quality of brakes out there.

    To everyone else that have purchase rotors from us, thank you for the support.

    Here's an idea for you R-1...put "VehiCROSS" in the menu on your site.
    I always feel like a vendor is interested in my business if they go to the effort of including my specific model in the list of choices I'm offered.

    Ldub, I just updated the menu. Sorry about that. We're still updating the website (ie. layout, items, inventory).

    AM I READING THIS RIGHT (from R1)?!!!!:

    THE PRICE OF $217.99 IS FOR:
    2 Front + 2 Rear R1 Concepts' E-Line Performance Brake Rotors

    4 Front + 4 Rear R1 Concepts' Premium Semi-Metallic Brake Pads


    That can't be.... or can it?

    Yups! Extremely affordable rotors, but I don't want to sound too much like a salesman. Just upgrade the pads, for an addition like $15.00 - $20.00, and you'll be set.

    Feel free to ask if you have any more questions. You can also call the office, anyone of my sales reps would be happy to all your questions. Just in case you feel like you like to talk someone regarding your questions... 714-777-2323

    sorry bart...

    Bart, apologies if this is hijacking your thread... but I have a question for R1 (or anybody else that might know).

    Do you have to use the semi-metalic pads with the R1 rotors, or will use of the ceramic Isuzu OEM pads work fine with them? Explain.

    Thanks.

    -biju.
