Brake discs R1 Concepts or EBC

I have used R1 concepts geomet drilled/slotted rotors twice. The pads were pretty dusty but worked well.

I have these rotors with EBC yellowstuff pads. So far so good.

EBC Turbo Grooved Brake Discs (Front/Rear). EBC Yellowstuff Performance Brake Pads (Front/Rear).

I just did mine brakes & rotors on my 2019 1.5 and all parts from R1 Concepts, drilled & slotted. Feel so smooth!

I’ve used R1 rotors for over 15 years on everything from a Dodge minivan to all three of my BMW’s. I have not ever had one issue and will continue to buy them for years to come.

én végül EBC-t vettem, általában kapja az ívet, amikor kanyargósabb utakra tévedek, eddig mindent kibírt, pedig nem kímélem.Úgy jött ki, hogy Grossglockneren lett befejezve a fék bejáratása, füstöltek már a fékek a nyúzástól és nem ott lett a vége a mókának, hanem még jöttek mindenféle olasz hegyek, ahol tovább lett tesztelve a rendszer határa, de a tárcsákat ez nem nagyon hatotta meg. Tavaly május végén került fel, azóta belement tizenpárezer km, abból 2700 km hegyi túra, és kb. minden hónapban van pár alkalom, amikor a féknek dolgoznia kell elég intenzíven, semmi baja azóta se.

I’ve been buying rotors for over 15 years from R1 Concepts and highly recommend them. Good quality and good price.

I got the the black R1 Concepts slotted and drilled ones for mine, thinking the same thing about the cosmetics. But the black wore off after a few stops. Still good breaks tho.

So my rotors seem to be warped on my 2020 Civic Si, at least I think so. They feel alright with very light braking, but any amount of hard braking immediately causes wobbling. Pads are definitely low, only about 2-3 mm left, so I figured I should just replace the rotors anyway. I just ordered EBC's Stage 5 kit that comes with slotted and dimpled rotors and yellowstuff pads front and rear for $500 due to good reviews on the Civicx forum. However, I'm reading a lot of people say that slotted/dimpled simply is not worth the extra cost for a street car. I drive pretty hard in the mountains and have felt a pretty substantial amount of brake fade at times so I figured I could definitely benefit from some better heat dissipation, but now I'm starting to regret my decision. Am I wasting my money?

hard pass on the EBC products. Had 2x experiences with terrible warped rotors (drilled + slotted). Suggest their brake pads in ballpark with rotors. highly recommend buying from vendor where everything is reliable, predictable, and company stands behind product. I've had great experience with Powerstop but others may have alternative vendors. EBC is a flaming turd for me... from scar tissue.
