: R1 Concepts Premium Rotors/ Hawk/ Posi Quiet/ Stoptech Pads/ GB. Sale!
r1concepts 06-03-2008, 12:42 PM R1 Concepts Inc. is proud to offer Premium High Carbon Jeep rotors!
I am offering the Premium High Carbon series rotors which are made with stronger iron cast metal (G3500) for overall tension strength. The Premium High Carbon series rotors which is the top of the line series out of the two that I carry (E-lines & Premiums). The rotors are cast with a 50/50 center split for better heat distribution. Premium utilize a black Electro-coating finish applied on the hubs and inner vane structures providing long lasting corrosion protection. Original stock size, will bolt right up with no modifications needed.
What separates R1 from the rest?
Often Imitated, Never Duplicated. Here at R1, we take into account numerous precautions in machining rotors. We drill our rotors in house using state-of-the-art CNC machines and follow strict procedures and standards such as drilling between each vane structure. This will allow the rotor to retain its structural integrity and overall strength with optimum thermal transfers. We utilize smaller diameter drill bits for smaller diameter holes and each hole is counter-sink to add strength. You also have the option to go with slotted only or even a custom design with your own logo. Every R1 rotor that comes with slots will come with our exclusive "Diamond Slot design" (45 degree angle end points), to help release trapped debris. Our diamond slot design is also a good indicator for rotor wear. We also offer optional Cryo Treatment at an additional cost. (Cryogenic treatment is a process that improves the performance and life of the rotor by strengthening the metallurgy. This process will help to give an extra level of protection against warping).
Why are you choosing R1 Concepts Inc?
We’ve been in business since 2002 and have been a supporting vendor on this forum since 2007. With countless sets of rotors/ pads sold (and many other forums) and Top Notch Customer Service to back it up… Buy what's trusted.
*WARRANTY*
Here at R1 Concepts Inc, we stand by our products. We offer a one year warranty on warping and three year warranty on cracking within the minimum thickness on all R1 brake rotors due to manufacture defects and workmanship.

robdawg1691 07-16-2008, 09:13 PM So what type of pads are most people going for? I'm trying to figure that out now. I can get a set of 4 Satisfied Pro Ceramic pads for $114. Not sure what the difference is between these and the GS6 and the other options that are available in this group buy. Any advice?
robdawg1691 07-17-2008, 07:28 AM Anything? My car is in the shop right now so I'm a little pressed for time and need to make a decision so I can let the guy know what to do.
Thanks.

How did you break them in? I just had the R1 Rotors and Hawk pads installed. Should I be doing, or not doing, anything in particular to make sure they don't squeel? thanks.

50mph --> moderate aggressive stops down to 10mph and let it cool off.
Do this about 10 times. Then let the pads seat themselves the forst 500 miles.

The R1 rotors and Hawk HPS pads are a great upgrade. But best of all, they stop good no noise very little dust and look good the same time.

Gonzo 12-16-2008, 08:12 AM Question for Sam...I purchased my d/s rotors and pads from R1 back in September, I went with the Posi quiet pads since they were the only ones available at the time...I did the whole bedding process and pads were working great (no noise/dust)...but come December the noise has become very annoying to the point that I don't want to even drive my SRT8...what gives?, can you help out...thanks
CentralTexHemi 12-16-2008, 08:21 AM ***** I dont think it has anything to do with the rotor or pads but more the shim, try some permatex on the backing plate
Gonzo 12-16-2008, 08:33 AM what will that do?...I googled it and it is come out like some kind of adhesive, I did the whole adding grease on the backing plate.
CentralTexHemi 12-16-2008, 08:50 AM Yeah it only lasts a short while. I have some plastic shims I am going to try next
Gonzo 12-16-2008, 08:52 AM I was able to find the permatex for brake components...should I go with the purple stuff even though it's for ceramic and my pads are semi metallic?...thanks
Gonzo 12-16-2008, 08:56 AM Do you think the weather plays a role when it comes to brake squeal...I live in chicago and it's cold right now but I see you are from texas and have the same issue, i'm confused.
CentralTexHemi 12-16-2008, 08:56 AM Hmm not sure but put alot of it on there as it will eventually burn off our brakes get really hot
LonghornSpencer 12-16-2008, 09:00 AM I have been thinking about getting these but it sounds like to much trouble, wrong?

Brake shims are thin layers of rubber or metal that fit between the brake pads and the rotors to correct small imperfections that cause brake noise. On the most basic level, for many new vehicles with new brake parts, brake shims function as anti-rattle pads. They keep the pads and rotors from banging against each other or squealing.

FDNY-L107 02-02-2009, 05:59 PM I bought the Hawk HPS pads. Are those the ones that squeek? Anyone else buy these?
Rob,
I just installed the Hawk HPS's on the rear. Prior to replacing the stock pads, my Jeep sounded like a CSX freight train coming. I had 10K miles on the pads and my squeal started at around 8,500, which from what I've read, is about when everyone else has trouble.
Anyway, with the new Hawk pads the squeal is 2X WORSE! Now, I only have about 40 miles on them, so maybe they are not fully bedded yet. However, like many, I'm getting tired of this and would really like a solid solution, cost notwithstanding.
-Mark

QBNKID 06-25-2009, 12:28 PM Big thanks to Steven for taking care of my order, shipping was very fast and I just got them installed today ((6/25/09). I have 14,300 miles on the jeep now, let's see how long this will last me.
The quality of the R1 Premium rotors look amazing, my installer (a long time friend) was very impressed with the quality of the rotors and brake system on these jeeps.
I went with the front OEM Brembo pads and with the '06 CTS-V pads for the rear. The squeaking from the rear was driving me nuts so hopefully this combo is the fix as many has reported using the CTS-V pads.
Here's a few pictures from today's install....
These are the pads I used: Front OEM Pads and rear Akebono '06 CTS-V pads.

Whatever happened to 30k pad changes (not that I'm easy on them, by any means)?Wow, you had 13K, I had 14K and my front pads were gone too. I wonder what's the average life span on OEM pads...
Mike so what are you getting?
Mike_Levy 06-27-2009, 12:46 AM Mike so what are you getting?
Probably these. Drilled & slotted rotors with PosiQuiet pads seems like a safe bet.
780XO 06-27-2009, 06:39 AM My R1 slotted and cross drilled are on there way. I run the zeckhausen pads. Don't know about performance because I don't drive to terribly hard (at least in the slow down direction) but they don't squeek and almost no brake dust.
Raist103 07-13-2009, 11:23 AM how much for just front rotors?

Thanks

Harrison@Stage6 07-13-2009, 05:07 PM I got 52K out of my OEM brakes. Beat that peoples!!
I am flat out LOVING my R1's now. I didn't wash it for 4 weeks after putting them on. In 4 weeks of brake dust....... it equaled 4-5 DAYS worth of stock brake dust. SHOCKING!! Thanks Steven...... couldn't have picked out a better choice!
LonghornSpencer 07-13-2009, 05:39 PM I need a rear set...have a front set waiting for me to buy a rear set. PM the price please
r1concepts 07-15-2009, 03:01 PM I got Hawk Ceramics in now too! ($180 f/r) From what I'm hearing from Hawk Inc. These pads will give even lesser dust and lower noise than the HPS but the HPS brakes a bit better.
Thanks
Steven
tfmbigdog99 08-20-2009, 05:17 PM ordered - steven was helpful and courteous on the phone.
cant wait for the rotors and pads!
Mike_Levy 08-23-2009, 12:04 AM So Steven, what would be the best pad choice? Sure as hell not paying for OEMs, so those are out. Whats a good balanced pad? Low dust, good stopping (in traffic and from speed), low noise.
Can you get us braided lines too?
BlackJeepSRT 08-23-2009, 07:55 AM ^ Are you not going to go with CTS-V rear pads, or did you mean that by "OEM" in general. They are pretty cheap dude! :D

Not sure. Thats why I asked. I was planning on PosiQuiets all around, but if theres something better, thats how I'll go.
BlackJeepSRT 08-23-2009, 01:04 PM ^ But of course, good sir! How about the $300 trinets ebay special? :p What's one more thing, right? ;)

Be careful with some of their outrageous drilling patterns, mainly for looks I bet. Backed up by just a 90 day warranty... if that is the route you want to take. Like I said in the previous message, there is no comparison between my Premium rotors and Trinet rotors, maybe my E-line series we can have a debate. You can give me a call at 714-777-2323 ext. 7006 we can definitely go into detail.

For best braking power I have the Hawk HPS. However, Ive been hearing that they make noise in the rears. Some of my customers been going with Hawk fronts and Posi quiet semi rear or the CTS-V oem pads.
I heard nothing but great things about the Hawk Performance Ceramics, they are low noise but are out of stock at the moment (hard to come by).
No ss lines yet, sorry.
Harrison@Stage6 08-24-2009, 05:39 PM I'm running the HPS's all the way around and have about maybe 4-5K on them and love them. No noise for me.:D

Steven, can you comment on how many folks end up (and rationale for) getting all 4 rotors upgraded vs. just getting the front rotors? I know most of the braking force is in the front, and I'm trying to save money and get the most bang for the buck... :D

80% end up buying front and rear
20% just fronts
There is nothing wrong with buying just fronts. About 70% of the braking force is on the front rotors. Usually the fronts will warp before the rears. However the braking mechanics might change a tad bit because of different thickness and wear of new rotors vs old rotors. Keep in mind when changing just the pads for the rears. Depending on how worn your rear rotors are might shorten the life the rear brake pads due to scoring of the rear rotors. You will be saving more by going with all four. PM sent, check your message.

r1concepts 11-23-2009, 01:51 PM Well sorry for the confusion , Just checking , So the current GB Price is untouchable ?
I apologize but for now, the price stands. My R1 Premium rotors are not your typical aftermarket replacement rotors (majority of the time, equipped with silver zinc plating). I offer the Premium series rotors which are made with stronger iron cast metal for overall tension strength (cast iron grade G3500). Premium rotors are built with a 50/50 center split casting design for better overall heat distribution. The rotors are equipped with an E-coat rust protection coating on the center hub, inner vane structures, and outer rim of rotor.
Thanks
Steven

And what are the best pads for allot of city driving, i put about 20-25,000 on my rig a year and 95% of that is city, so as you can imagine my wheels stay clean for about a day. What do you suggest for quiet/low to no dust pads and will still have some performance for the days i beat the crap out of the truck. every once and while i will take it up through the mountain roads to carve it up with the porsche club so i need a set-up that can handle that as well.

Either drilling pattern will give you the same braking performance. Dimple will probably has a bit more strength since the rotors are not drilled all the way through. I would suggest going with Hawk Ceramic pads for lowest dust and lowest noise without sacrificing much braking power.

scoutermike 07-14-2010, 10:01 PM Order placed for drilled / slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads.
hawkman996 07-21-2010, 05:02 PM My brakes are really squealing and you can hear the "ee, ee, ee, ee" at around 5-10mph which draws everyone's attention. It is rather embarrassing.
I'm inspecting the brakes this weekend and may need some rotors.
I didn't take the time to go through the thread but I believe the price used to be around $500 for all 4....is that correct?
I have some dba slotted rotors on the front that the previous owner put on but I may not use those so that the rotors match all around.
Plan on going with the new stoptech pads as I have not been impressed at all with the hawk hps pads that are on the rig now. Any others you might recommend?
Thanks

Stoptech pads have very good stopping power. However, we were only able to test them out on a 350z and a Tiburon. They are bit on the dusty side. The member price for the rotors has also dropped down a bit. PM sent.
Thanks

sblbdr 08-07-2010, 04:29 PM Need a price on front and rear cross drilled rotors and recommendations on pads. Pm me please. Thank you!!
richboi 08-07-2010, 04:53 PM I would like to get crossdrilled rotors all the way around and some less dusty pads. Could you pm me a price?
SemperSRT8 08-10-2010, 09:37 PM How's it going Steven? I'm also in the market for a new set of crossdrilled/slotted rotors and Hawk Ceramic Pads. What's the going price for this package? Thanks in advance!

CIVIC96NOS 09-28-2010, 05:43 PM For the guys that have these rotors..How does the bite feel ?
Same braking bite??
Any issues?
They look great..
Thanks
BILLSHOE 09-28-2010, 08:38 PM No difference than stock but when hot no fade. They also look great

For the Jeep SRT8, it is difficult to try match or exceed the braking performance of the original Brembo pads while meeting the expectations of what most SRT8 owners would want, lower dust, and lower noise (squeal). Keep in mind, the more aggressive the pads are, the more chances of noise and dust just like the Brembo pads. The lesser the dust and noise, the lower the braking power in most cases.
I could package up a brake pad setup that would exceed the braking power of the original Brembo setup. However, probably not suitable for daily driving (dusty, noisy, a bit harsh on rotors).
Most of the pads we have listed have different characteristics depending on what customers want. All the pads listed is for daily use. However, if you are looking for a big improvement in braking power from stock (track brake pads), I can make that happen too.
Thanks
Steven
CIVIC96NOS 10-06-2010, 12:35 PM Steven we shouldn't have a problem running these with our stock pads right?
Thanks,

Al,
Not at all, just make sure the pads are new when installed with new rotors.
Specialblend07 10-07-2010, 06:04 PM Just put in my order. Ft/Rr Premium slotted with stop tech pads Fr/Rr
srt8ftw 10-07-2010, 06:14 PM my back pads need to be replaced soon but my fronts are fine. i love the bite of the stockers. which pads will give me the same bite but less NOISE =(

As of now, its a fight between my Hawk ceramic rears or the Stoptech Performance rear pad. I'd say the stoptechs for braking power.
Just placed an order for Premium Cross-Drilled & Slotted with Stoptechs today and got my UPS tracking number within hours. Awesome customer service and pricing.
CIVIC96NOS 10-19-2010, 09:51 AM Any pics of Slotted only installed?
krugs22 10-19-2010, 10:57 AM Do you guys ship to Canada?
r1concepts 10-19-2010, 12:13 PM Any pics of Slotted only installed?
No I don't have a picture of slotted rotors installed on the a vehicle. However, you can go to the first thread to see a picture of the Slotted Premium Rotors
Do you guys ship to Canada?
Yes we do!
Thanks

BOYCHIKS 10-19-2010, 01:58 PM As of now, its a fight between my Hawk ceramic rears or the Stoptech Performance rear pad. I'd say the stoptechs for braking power.
So the stoptechs will provide more breaking power over the Hawks, but the hawks will be more quiet. (Speaking after 10k+ miles)
r1concepts 10-19-2010, 02:26 PM So the stoptechs will provide more breaking power over the Hawks, but the hawks will be more quiet. (Speaking after 10k+ miles)
Well my customers are saying that the Stoptech are also pretty quiet. I would say that the Hawk Ceramics will be lower dust. Noise level is the same on both pads.
Thanks

CIVIC96NOS 10-20-2010, 12:17 PM Steve how many miles can we expect to get out of these rotors?
Thanks
r1concepts 10-20-2010, 02:21 PM Steve how many miles can we expect to get out of these rotors?

That is a question I cannot answer. It all depends on the driver on how long rotors will last. However, should be at least close to two years or more.
Considering that we do have a one year warranty on warping and cracking (good for one replacement). It reassures you that the rotors guaranteed to last quite some time.
Thanks

How do they perform/last when compared to OEM on corrosion?
r1concepts 10-20-2010, 02:39 PM How do they perform/last when compared to OEM on corrosion?
Hello,
On how well they perform will result from what kind of pads you plan to put on too. However, the Premium rotors are a better quality/ built rotor. The Premium series rotors made with an even stronger iron cast graded metallurgy. Premium rotors have better air flow because they are built with a 50/50 center split vane structure design (some also comes curved vane and columned) for efficient air distribution to try to eliminate heat spots.
Well the premium rotors do come with a black rust protection coating applied to the center hub, inner vane structure, and outer rim of rotor. That will hold off the rusting quite well, however no iron rotor out there is an anti rust proof.
Thanks

I understand all rotors will rust. I have Bendix pads as replacements. The reason I ask was because my OEM's rusted very bad, chunks are missing(on the actual pad contact area). I had less that 14k miles at the time, but I do live in NY & they do use salt on the roads, plus it's an '06. I ordered my R1's from you last week, so I'll be shake free soon. Thanks.
BOYCHIKS 10-27-2010, 09:17 PM Got my rotors and pads today :) ordered last week.
Hopefully I will be going home from school Friday to install them.
I also ordered the ctsv pads from tirerack last Wed and they came the next day :eek:
Can't wait to install!!!
nighthawk306 10-28-2010, 11:47 AM are these rotors cryo treated or no?
also, i know its been discussed but can you (boychiks) just post a link to the exact year for the pads off the cts v that fit?

I just went to tire rack . com and went to brake pads. Typed in cts-v and they are called: Akebono euro ceramic pads. $84 + shipping.
