Alright, I have been doing a little research after seeing a few posts about R1 Concept's brake parts. I looked at GeddyLee's post, where he showed is rotors from R1 Concepts. They look very nice and not cheap. BUT! The price for the items make me raise an eyebrow. I have learned with auto parts, you get what you pay for. Period. There are many things on a vehicle you DO NOT want to go cheap on. The two major ones (in my opinion) are battery and brakes.
Cheap battery = no start
Cheap break = no stop
Anyway there may be an exception to these. I had my eye on these two actions:

^^^^^ Without pads

^^^ With pads.
Im not to worried about the pads. I would almost rather purchase the pads on my own at the auto store because I do not want to mess around with cheapo pads.
So whats up with these rotors? Will they warp on me in a year or two? Crack? Pit? Would you guys recommend i get them, or should i stay away from them. I also would possibly like to increase to rear rotors (or whatever you guys recommend). I have read that people are putting on Monte Carlo rotors in the back (i could be mistaken), which acts as an upgrade in braking power!
Anyway I need to get my brakes redone. They have been acting up on me and its time for a whole new brake equipment. Please let me know what you think, and any setups that you recommend. Thank you!!
