New Rotors Installed

Just had these R1 Concepts drilled/slotted rotors installed today. This company is located in southern California and they seem to be a good product. They are zinc coated as well. Probably more "eye candy" than function but seem to work well with the Hawk HPS pads that were put on acouple of weeks ago. No more mods after this one!

Best price I've seen so far!
Of course, I won't be able to have them because they don't ship outside N. America...

Rich: Are those 17" or 18" chrome Bullitts?

That's a good one! LOL.

Those rotors look great, I like the drilled and slotted ones, I just got the holes.

Since you put on your pads first, the drove around on the stocker rotors for a few weeks, did you feel any difference with just adding the rotors?

I threw my pads, rotors, lines, DOT 4, and fixed a leaking caliper all at the same time, so I can't tell where the most improvement came from, though I'm betting it's the Hawk HPS pads

definately go with the r1 concepts. the look and the quality alone are worth it. i was the first to purchase these. based on their ebay business, they have about 9500 positive feedback and about 40 negative. you figure half of the negative they werent at fault for. out of almost 10,000 transactions everyone was happy with their product. not to mention the look and price. for the money you cant go wrong. especially with the black powdercoating of the center hub.

also great for the guys who cant go wit ha big break kit due to the skinnies and 15' wheels in the rear
