what up fam?

tis true. i also run the r1's but with stock (oem) pads as stated above ^ .

love them. love them even more together. however, my input's a little skewed because i did have the steel braided brake lines installed at the same time - so i never experienced the r1 rotors > stock pads > stock lines set-up.

i can say that all three together are really solid. long-term thus far? --> much better breaking than with stock rotors w/ stock pads.

go forth with the 'upgrade' to stock pads and get back to us. i'm interested now...
