I was more than happy with my R1 Rotors at Sonoma 2 weeks ago. I felt a bit of pulsing when I got the brakes especially hot, but I never had any real fading.

Pros: happy with R1 Rotors
Cons: bit of pulsing
Vehicle: Ford Focus

I swapped over from the oem Brembo pads and rotors to project mu pads and Stoptech rotors and it was a definitely worth the upgrade. I got the type PS pads they offer which has less dust than the oem pads, no noise and way better braking performance. Super easy to modulate and paired with 200tw tires your braking confidence goes through the roof and you can really late brake and trail brake easily.

Pros: better braking performance, easy modulate
Cons: more expensive

I’ve ran r1 concepts drilled and slotted rotors for like 3 years now with stoptech pads and never felt the need to upgrade higher than that for just dailying/spirited driving

Pros: good for daily driving

I went with R1 concepts. Really good brake rotors and brake pads so far. I’ve had their regular ones and just switched to drilled and slotted. I’ve noticed an improvement in braking after driving for a while as the brakes don’t heat up as much. But it depends on your driving style. R1 concepts kits also come with hardware if you select it which would help because the oem hardware get warn out after a while.

Pros: good braking, less heat

R1 concepts has nice rotors, and they sent me dynamic friction pads that I’ve been very happy with.

I’m hesitant to give them business though because they sent me broken brake pads that were clearly abused in the warehouse, not in shipping, and refused to remedy the situation. I was furious.

Pros: nice rotors, happy with pads
Cons: sent broken pads, refused remedy

Since I installed the StopTech slotted brake rotors on my 2013 Golf R last winter, every time I've driven in the rain, after cruising long enough such that the brakes get "cold," as soon as I mash on the brake pedal, there is no stopping power whatsoever. Once the brakes "heat up" the response and stopping power are as what I'd expect. On a dry day, this does not happen at all - the brakes are firm and the stopping response is exactly what I'd expect.

Pros: good response when warm, firm on dry days
Cons: no stopping power in rain, no power when cold
