Beej, that's quite alright, I'm sure I have jacked a thread or two of yours in the past! And besides, we are still on the right subject here. Probably next week I am going to place an order with R1 for a full set of brakes and rotors. I will also be getting my front wheel bearing repacked at the same time. I will keep you all posted on how it goes.

And yes, the $229 price tag on R1's product is very good indeed, especially since new brakes and rotors from Merlin were an upwards of $900, which is nutty to say the least.

I just want to make sure my VX is tip top, so I need to do this soon. But Xmas was a little rough on my bank account.

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.
