Thread: What rotors to use

i bought R1 rotors and pads off ebay for about 200 shipped for all 4 corners. best damn brakes ive ever owned.

Seems like a caliper/pad issue's if you keep doing that to rotors.

Buy higher quality rotors if you want too.

R1 is the best I've used, I've read they're the same as Centrix, but can't say... But the R1's on sale is a Rotor tough to beat. Pads to match driving, a Power Stop Ceramic's work great!

Either you are buying cheap rotors or you are doing something wrong. Make sure you are properly braking them in also.

A year and a half? I'd be so happy with that. I have two sets of rotors (OE and Aimco) that I swap out when I re/re the snow tires. The longest they've not wobbled for is 3 months. Wimpy breaks on a heavy car.

up grade to f bodys up front and r1's and never look back.....

That is on my to-do list.

i ended up hammering them much harder then ever before last night, was trying to get to 3 rd gear wot and ran up on traffic, the whoosh sounds where so damn loud and they were just grabbing like crazy. and my abs dont work, if i hit them to hard they will lock up.
