Rating 4.5

The street type are great all rounders, reasonable bite and minimal drop off. Pretty low dust and noise, and wear was terrific. The set I had lasted longer than the oem pads I had before them. The performance of the track orientated pads is absolutely insane. The initial bite is like no other pad I've ever had. It drops off a tad but still great stopping power. However dust and noise are pretty terrible.

Pros: low dust, long wear, great bite
Cons: high dust, noise

I run the Project Mu HC+ and DBA4000 rotors on a FK8 CTR that is also daily driven. over all very happy works ok when cold but 1 or 2 stops and its up to temp and has great bite. and really only minor pad sequel when stone cold.

Pros: great bite, good cold performance
Cons: minor squeal
Vehicle: Honda Civic

R1 Concepts Brake pads

Did my own with R1 Concepts E-Line pads and rotors. Bought my own parts kit seperate since they don't include them like some brands do. After 40k miles on them, I'm still going strong and will go another 20k before I evaluate their shape. I have slotted and drilled rotors, and you can visibly see the wear on the rotors, the pads are still going strong. As for stopping power I'd say it's average or OEM. No rust after 2 years on them thanks to the coating on the rotors. The surface does rust lightly after a rain storm, but they're clean after driving and braking.

Pros: long lasting, no rust
Cons: average stopping power
Mileage: 40000 km

R1 Concepts Brake pads

I did use r1concepts house brand ceramic brake pads in my most recent brake change and I like them overall. I do not track my vehicle but maybe some spirited driving here and there

Pros: overall good, low dust

R1 Concepts Brake pads

They were super friendly and helped me get the best brakes for my Suburban. They literally made the brakes specifically for me and I picked them up a few days later. Definitely a quality product, too.

Pros: quality product, friendly service

The best solution I have found is to use slotted rotors--cryo treatment typically gets me 10K more miles before hard spots develop and I get a pedal vibration--and an aggressive pad without any ceramics. My solution is to use the best quality slotted rotor I can find, cryo treatment preferred, and use either a Wilwood BP-10/20 pad or a Project Mu NS brake pad. I found those two pads were aggressive enough to have great stopping power and would wear out the rotor at the same rate the pad wore down.

Pros: great stopping power
Cons: rotor wears down

R1 Concepts Brake pads

yea r1 concept is a good brand. my friend has them on his 2000 tt and he installed them himself , both the brake pads and the rotors. he painted his calipers red and with the drilled and slotted rotors it looks sick.

Pros: good brand, looks sick
Vehicle: Audi TT
