Anyone use these?

Are they any good? Any issues?

I was thinking of getting the R1 rotors and the Hawk pads.

Thanks.

 

i dunno i am looking for a rotor replacement as well but will be getting a two piece.

 

duno...but i saw these on ebay....

 

I have the Slotted R1s and Hawk HPS pads. No issues but I have only put 5000 on them.

 

sweet! been looking for new rotors

 

I'd appreciate an update as this purchase is not likely to happen for a few months. The brakes are fine, possibly a little warping on the front rotors, but nothing that is all that noticeable.

Plus I have BB, so I really like the fact the inner rotor is powder coated black.

And I would appreciate any other input too as far as how the rotors hold up, espcially high heat warping.

And thanks for the hint that we might get a break on price if we mention rx8club.com

 

Check out the Racing Brake sets also for comparison

 

I have the R1's and have had no problems with them. Say 15000 miles so far.
When I recieved them I did repaint the hats. the paint had chipped during shipping.

my advice: get the zinc plating and then paint the hats before installing them

 

That sucks. I thought they were powder coated. I didn't realize it was just paint. I'll have to see if I can get the zinc plated ones powder coated black since I have a BB.

Thanks!

 

makes me want them now><"

mine are just rusty.....

still wanna replace em.

 

i just installed my set from them this week and no problems so far.easy and cheap.

 

Pics!!

 

wow, those look nice... u guys are making me want them now too...

 

Bumping for pics and I have a couple of questions.

Which brake pads did you use?
How easy were the rotors to remove? I read somewhere you need an impact wrench to get the rotors off because of a bolt, but I haven't had the time to find a diagram that shows this bolt.

Thanks.

 

When I had my Millenia, I bought some rotors from these guys, took 3 weeks for them to even tell me they were back ordered. I cancelled the order, the customer service is pretty crap...

 

I just ordered mine today. They are going to be ready on Monday (today is Friday), and since I live in OC I am going to just go by and pick them up. I'll post the pictures when I get them on.

Can you take a pic of the rim when it is shiny?

LOL at mysql101 "jfyi, u suck at car washing. hehe"

I meant an impact screwdriver, but I think you know what I meant, so thanks for the info.

Looks nice and I dig the calipers. Painted or powdercoated?

 

man that car is dirty!!!.

but nice rotors......
they look like painted to me..

 

the racing brake rotors are EDP coated...

Anyone know how durable EDP coatings are? My existing rotors are actually okay, but the paint that I put on the rotor hubs is starting to flake. so the last thing I want is to upgrade then find a similar problem.

 

abbid, jfyi, you fail at car wash

 

Cheap as hell though...I ve got new rear rotors which are excellent..Autoexe rear rotors with autoexe rear street brake pads and they ll rhyme excellent with my front 6pot grex big brake kit...

 

These R1's just came off a 9-2x (same as WRX) guy's car after 1 track day. He had just put 'em on and was really excited about purchasing them and their great price. Note several cracks.
Just a heads up.....

 

^This is the reason if you want something right PAY FOR IT!!!As cheaper as something is such expensive it will get!!

 

That's also why i don't track my car.

 

Simply don't use cheap cross drilled rotors at the track.
As opposed to those rotors, your car is designed for the track

Valuewise, a set of cheap blanks will fare rather well at the track (for the most part).
