Brake discs Brembo or R1 Concepts

Brembo Brake discs

I went with: Brembo rotors all around 288mm front and 232mm rear Tyrol Sport Front Brake Stiffening kit DFC track pads(similar to Hawk HP) I still need to do SS lines and a fluid change, but my car stops very well for street driving. I will be swapping my pads for Hawk Performance Ceramic's though only due to brake dust.

Pros: car stops very well
Cons: brake dust

R1 Concepts Brake discs

Have been putting r1concept rotors on my vehicles for 10 years. Corolla, lexus is 250, ford f150, saab 9-3, volvo xc 90. Have always gotten drilled/slotted braking performance seems to be twice as good. The last few cars I know I got my geomet rotors and ceramic pads. But 8 years ago got rotors on my lexus. Felt great never really had a problem. I was showing off in the back roads of wv, super hill, county roads. Maybe a 20 minute drive and I did have the car filled with people. Hit 95 mph a couple times. Everything was fine got back parked, my back rotors were smoking for atleast 10 minutes very visible. Still never had any issues after that. That is apparently super common. Not cause for too much concern. Never had it with any other vehicle any other time. I speed excisively. Just saying if you intend to use them for a track car I'd wanna be aware of that. Who knows if the geomet rotors would've improved things.

Pros: good braking performance
Cons: rotors smoked after hard use

Brembo Brake discs

Went with Brembo UV coated rotors so they won't get rusty. Then, for pads, I went with EBC Reds on the front and Wagner ceramic on the rears. Stopping power is just like OEM pads without the awful awful awful brown brake dust. Night and day difference with the brake dust. Wheels look great for a longer time.

Pros: no rust, less brake dust
Mileage: 70000 km

I have a drilled and slotted set with performance pads from R1 Concepts (was going ti replace pads but 1 rotor was bad). I have had them for about 4 months now and only complaint us the squeeky pads. I have a larger vehicle (Forester) so i feel the fade a bit sooner than most, but i feel these rotors do a good job of preventing that. I dont ride the brakea that hard but its still noticable.

Pros: prevents brake fade
Cons: squeeky pads
Vehicle: Subaru Forester

NAPA now carries brembo catalog. I ask for a price to see if they can even come close to FCP euro. some brembo 2 piece rotors for my car is what I had them run.

Cons: expensive compared to FCP
Vehicle: Mercedes

Recently needed front discs on my Astra VXR and just the parts were £2500. Apparently Brembo only made that part for that car so they’re rare. Managed to find them privately with front and rear pads for £820 plus a couple hundred to my local garage to fit them and some other bits.

Cons: expensive parts
