You normally would never need to resurface the rear rotors on this car, we only resurface the front unless there's something really abnormal.

Pros: only resurface front

Cons: something really abnormal

During my last service, I mentioned there was possible rocks or something rubbing in between the pads + rotors on one of the corners. They diagnosed and machining the rotors fixed it.

Pros: machining fixed rubbing

Cons: rocks rubbing

Mileage: 65000 km

You are being taken for a ride. 7 mm is the run out for Honda/Acura. I own a 2001 accord, and a 2004 crv, and have never had to replace the rotors, or calipers.

I have used rotors from R1 Concepts for over 15 years, on vehicles ranging from a Dodge Caravan, Chevy Trailblazer, to multiple BMWs and have never had an issue. They’re high quality and good price and I highly recommend them.

Pros: high quality, good price

Its been just under a week after installing R1 Concept's Geomet drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads, I am impressed. Extremely quiet and smooth ride but once they're hot, they get aggressive.

Pros: quiet and smooth ride

Cons: get aggressive when hot

I bought R1 Concepts front rotors for my Lexus IS250 at 85k miles. My car sits at 143k miles 5 years later and they have been the BEST rotors i have ever used. I chose their Geomet coating, and they are so rust resistant it is ridiculous. I have zero rust on the veins or hub of my brakes at all after all this time. I have used Powerstop rotors in the past on numerous vehicles, but I find the zinc coating will always rust after a few years. The R1 Concepts geomet coating is the best in my experience.

Pros: best rotors, rust resistant

Vehicle: Lexus

Mileage: 58000 km

I have R1Concepts Geo-Carbon series rotors (2nd vehicle I’ve used them on), absolutely no complaints from my Giulia. I’m rocking them with Porterfield R4-S pads and the bite in dry is very nice and feels the same in wet.

Pros: nice bite in dry/wet

Cons: none

Vehicle: Alfa Romeo Giulia
