Firstly, I dont want to hear bashing and smart remarks that people love to do on this forum when it comes to ebay. Somethings are great and others are not.

This item in particular, was great. My rotors were pretty much warped and brake pads gone, so I decided to upgrade. I was honestly just going to purchase the OEM rotors and pads; however, I did want a bit more without spending some extra money.

I first went on the forums in the vendor classifieds and was very close in purchasing the crossed and slotted rotors ONLY, from a vendor. But then I came across them on ebay. ( I do still have to test these huys out a bit, but with hawk pads and see what happens to the rotors)

Found Drilled & Slotted Zinc Plated Rotors + Front and Rear Evolution Ceramic Pads for $174 Shipped. Amazing Deal!

I do track my car once a year and always use the hawk pads, but these are great for normal everyday driving. Big difference from the OEM setup. There is more of a bite and reaction is faster.

I really did not want to spend $275 or more on rotors and pads and I believe these are still up for sale on eBay.

Aesthetics look amazing too! The rotors are zinc plated and it makes everything look great from an exterior perspective.

I thought I would share this so that some people who are not ready to spend big buck on brakes could possible use this option, even though this is nowhere near a big brake kit. Nevertheless, it is still a great upgrade for $175!

 

you should of went to r1concepts.com from the looks of the pics better quality for the same price. Future reference if you dont want to get bashed this id the wrong forum for ya.

 

.... went to r1concepts site and really like the premium slotted/crossdrilled. came back and looked at yours and they look like toys

 

well hes happy with them and they look alot better then the old ones, thx for the review op

 

I was hoping this was more of a long term review.

 

Same here.. maybe check back in 10k miles or a few weeks after your track day.

 

Yeah glad I found this thread, as I just found out about R1concepts lol man that stuff is nice and cheap, but I hope it dont turn to crap fast. Also, OP no offense but you get what you pay for hope it turns out well for you my friend.

 

^r1'stuff is top notch been using them for 40k now

 

I cant see any pics

 

no pics?

 

I just got my rotors from r1concepts... been on about a month now. SO MUCH BETTER than my OEM rotors and Project Mu pads.... no more brake squeel and the mountains of brake dust...

 

I have r1concepts rotors..no problems. Also have Hawk pads (bought through ebay).

 

Ya can't see pics here either...

I bought some ebayers a couple years ago, they lasted about 5 autox and 2 track days before I heard a loud SNAP then constant squeaking when coming to a stop on the track. Got to pit and checked my rotors, one cracked in two spots. To be fair these were cross drilled.

I thought the x-drilled were a bit ricey looking so I went with some R1concepts slotted only rotors all around. Very happy with them. I've got through probably 10+ track days and maybe 15-20 autox's and no probs, still look new in terms of thickness.

Be warned though and i'm sure tracking your car you've already noticed this, but stock brakes are too small to shed heat quickly. I had my brakes cooked after a few laps in 90F weather. I have a pretty close to square tire stagger setup and I was going into corners too fast because my brakes were cooked and I wasn't braking early enough at that point. Needless to say I drifted several corners unintentionally because of this. Not a good thing in most situations (unless its a drift course!)

Either way glad your happy with the buy. Hope they last for you...

 

 

I see no images.

 

no pics? wtf! I had pics yesterday! Ok I'll try again. But yeah I do have to test them out a bit, and will definetly have to take after shots to see what happens, but for now they are good!

 

pics up again, and yeah I do understand you get what you pay for, but i'm gonna find out soon enough and I'll be back after 5 or 7k and let you all know.

 

just got the same set up shipped to my door but for an 08 z $250 shipped to my door much better then stock nissan has some really shitty rotors mine havent even lasted
20k miles the stealership cut them at 3k miles cause of a scraping nosie that was there fix and now they are warped to hell so this is a quick fix for me also only temporry till i get the money for a bbk next summer i wasent looking to spend 500+ on rotors and pads to just have to start all over

 

they are more for an 08? is it the HR? I thought all 350's were the same regards to brakes, except track model.

 

I paid $300 for Stoptech cross drilled and Slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads. I would rather spend the extra $125 and know that the quality of my brakes are top notch.
