Anyone here have experience with R1 Concept premium slotted/driller rotors?
Im looking into getting new rotors and pads, i cant stand the squeal anymore. Anyone tried these rotors or the posi quiet ceramic pads? They are going for a great price and im just looking for some input on them. Ive searched other forums and the general consensus is that they are great!

I know the owners at R1 Concepts. They use good quality OEM blank rotors from Centric Parts (WELCOME TO CENTRIC PARTS - Centric Parts) and they CNC machine the rotors by drilling and slotting them. Also, rotors with drilled holes function IMO as just a more aggressive appearance, and slots are more for performance. What makes you stop better, have less noise, and less brake dust is the type of brake pads you use. I would recommend ceramic compound if you are using your car as a daily driver.
I bought rotors and pads from them for my 350z a while back. they worked really well. I had a coupon in my email for 25% off that ended yesterday. see if they can extend the deal

Seriously though, i dont plan on tracking my car, just spirited driving and occasionally slapping a ricer. I dont think id use a big brake kit enough to justify it. So the next best thing would be some good rotors and pads!
Because a big brake kit will break my bank (ohhh shiiiiit)

Is this true? So its better to just get brake pads? instead of rotors?

These give the performance benefit of cross-drilled rotors without the cracking concerns sometimes associated with drilling (although that is mostly due to poor quality blanks and/or poor drilling techniques). J-Hooks generate just a little more brake groan (low volume humming) when being used hard, but that's how you know they are working. Under normal braking there is no difference at all.
