R1 Concepts Brakes and Rotors

[Ldub]

hey while we are talking about brakes....

i remember one of my friends has a 4runner with what he used to call a brake bias controller and i really want one now that i am more into four wheeling...

basically it was a knob that he could turn to make it so that he could control how much braking power was sent to the front and rear wheels.....

he used it for really steep declines to send more braking to the rear so that his truck wouldn't lean as far forward and the same for climbing so that he wouldnt go up on his rear tires as much if he hit his brakes hard....

i searched all over the net for this and i cant find it....any one have any ideas or heard of that before???

or was this just something he used to tell me about that was complete crap???

sorry, didnt mean to thread jack...

Hey, Bart!
Are these the brakes you are talking about?

Is there a place to get them for less?

Hey James,

Yes, those are the rotors I have. I bought their full front/rear rotor/brake pad package for like $200 something. That IS a good price for a full set of rotors and pads. VX stock pads and rotors will run you nearly $800 from Merlin (see this thread http://vehicross.info/forums/showthr...suggest+brakes). So no, I have no idea where to get cheaper stuff!! Like I said, the rotors are good, but get stock pads.

You had a pretty firm grasp of the situation...

OEM pads are the $hizz, & cost more for a reason...they're worth it.

I agree with Master Dub, the R1 rotors are cheap, but work good, spend your money on the pads from Merlin. I don't remember what I paid, I think it was something like $90 up front and $80 for the rears, but they should last and you can never be too safe with brakes.
