I have the premium rotors with my stock Brembo's and they are sexy. I highly recommend them. I also put new brake pads (Posi Quiet), stainless steel brake lines (StopTech), Project U inner shoe's, and Motul RBF600 brake fluid. Together they make for a very nice braking system. The pads are a bit soft and they don't bite as much as the OEM's but they are ultra low dust and no noise either. The new brake lines helped with the feel of the pedal. The pedal feels a lot stiffer and not mushy. The Project U inner shoe's are a must if you park your car on any kind of incline or decline. Those things keep my car in one place once I pull that e-brake. I hope this helps for any of you guys looking to upgrade your brakes.

on their website for premium cross drilled/slotted i get
fronts = 176.00
rear = 161.70
they are running a 10% off sale till the 30th = -33.77
plus shipping = ~48.00
comes to about $352

I can get stoptech's for $400 shipped
or r1's e-line for $186 shipped
and since i'll never track my car, just the occasional spirited driving i think e-line is best?

I have been running them on my car for over 2 years now and have had good luck. If you going to track the car, stick to the slotted ones. I had the drilled and slotted and had one of my rears crack. Went to the slotted and so far so good. My car sees autox, tale of the dragon and track days and they hold up well. I will be doing alot more track days next year, so I will see how they do.

I installed new r1 rotors. I bought the cross drilled/slotted rotors. No complaints. I don't track my car, I just needed new rotors and they have great prices.

Not much of a review...I have R1Concept slotted/drilled rotors and no complaints at all! Non-Brembo...but workin' great so far!

They sent me ceramic pads w/ them and they aren't too bad...But i'll be upgrading those soon.

Simple enough install...

GREAT review guys, I've been looking at em for a while now but was scared lol. Now after seeing these reviews, i might as well get em too. Too bad they dont have just slotted, guess slotted/drill will do.
