R1 Concepts Brakes and Rotors

Sweet, so I may have purchased 160 dollar pad slicers! Now I really can't wait to but the expensive set!

That seller has 14 negatives in the past month alone, with a smattering of nuterals. Not a good percentage. Be prepared to wait, that seems to be the biggest gripe.

My opinion on the claims either seller makes is:
It's about 80-90% marketing, 10-15% hype & maybe 5% truth.
I just like the way drilled only ones look...don't know yet if I'll ever hit "the" button...

[snowtrooper1966]

Good to know. Go ahead and hit the button. By the time you get the rotors I should have the pads and we can do a very unscientific comparative test

Best,

It actually would be fairly scientific, since I already have a new set of OEM pads in inventory...

However, the results would be skewed by the difference in terrain.
While you live in a ski area, which I would presume includes areas in which the elevation changes rapidly, I live in an area where I have to drive for an hour to see a good sized bump in the ground...

Well, you could hang about the "good sized bump" for a week (but only if there are lots of "gapers"-tourists that don't know the area, and left on road courtesy @ home-), activate your supercharger and stress your brakes as much as possible, to similate daily mountain resort driving
