Brake discs R1 Concepts or Duralast

Got a 2017 lancer and did the R1 concepts. Good results after only the first two weeks. Mind you! I had two seized calipers in the back and had to replace those as well. What is stated about drilled rotors is true about the cracking if you’re using them aggressively, I bought these specific ones because I read they have the better rating out of most and since I’m using them in the winter I’m not concerned with them getting too hot to crack (please correct me if my logic is not correct) but I assumed that since the vehicle was primarily being used for cold weather it would be best to go with a more reputable brand for safe stopping power.

Got the R1 concepts for the rotors and pads. Impressed by the braking power

I have R1 Concept rotors with the Powerstop Z26. Great combo.

I upgraded our outback and ascent to the R1 concepts and haven't had any warping issues yet.

finally got r1 concepts put on about 5 days ago. drilled and slotted rotors. SMOOTH like butter

Ive got r1s on 3 of my cars and love them. Put out a decent amount of brake dust so either learn to live with it or youll be finger banging your wheels to keep them clean. Working on set #2 on my camry, lasted about 40k miles but i drive hard. Handled well thru the mountains

I like the duralast gold brake rotors. They have a really nice coating to help prevent corrosion, if you’re in the north east I really recommend them. They do need to be bedded once installed to get rid of the coating on the braking surface of the rotor. You pretty much just get the car up to 20mph and hit the brakes a little aggressive, you do this a few times each time increasing your speed. It comes with clear instructions how to do it.

I went with R1 Concepts for the front..thats with slotted and drilled rotors and pads and im happy with them. I've run them about 6k miles so far and no issues.

I had them on my Z32 a few times, not bad, I wouldnt do track days with them, (well I did once they warped). But outside of that, for daily they are fine.

The R1 concepts will be rusting in 3 months or less.
