My rear rotors feel like ruffles potato chips on the inside driver side. I think Im gonna need some near rotors soon. I have 13,700miles on the car. THis is BS! I'll wait till theres some good drilled slotted front and rear combos out there. plus I want the rear brake prob fixed!!! whats the fix for this?

Anybody know if Brembo has a rear caliper offering that would fit the back? I think it'd be pretty nice to put 2-pistion fixed rear calipers back there like some other cars sometimes come with.

Hello community!

The front Premium rotors are in for a limited time! PM, call or email me for pricing. Once I get a better understanding of quantity available, I will list the products in my vendor/ groupbuy section.

Thanks
Steven

Yes, any drilling style you wish. Until I get further notice of how many came to my Warehouse. I only ordered 10 sets for now and hoping to order more once I have the information.

Thanks

Stock front pads + R1 premium front rotors = great combo

hawk rear pads + R1 premium rear rotors = great combo

Correct? Would like to check my math on this.

After seeing the dust difference between the front wheels and the back with the Hawk HPS pads... and heck, even the rears now compared to the original pads... I'm thinking about going with different pads in the front.

What does everybody think about this? I have no doubt that the Ferodo HP1000s are very good pads, but does anybody know of another pad that puts out less dust with comparable braking power and fade characteristics (preferably backed with some sort of data)? I'm usually more functionality-minded than appearance-minded, but the dust these Ferodos put off and the amount of time until needing to clean the wheels is just crazy.

I'm getting my brakes inspected before I purchase my R1 Concept rotors to make sure that my front rotors/pads are in OK condition. I can't see any visible grooving on the fronts but I can't get a good look at the inside portion of the rotors. The rear rotors appear to have some score marks on their inside faces, left and right. I've been hearing some loud grinding noises when coasting, accelerating, and braking and I'm hoping that it's just the rears. But if it comes down to it I'll just buy R1 premium rotors all the way around with Hawk pads in the rear, and new OEM pads in the front.

Question is: Are these the correct OEM front pads for the SS/TC? Part # 25808929

http://www.crateenginedepot.com/stor...P2298C192.aspx

I saw no mention of Fedoro HP1000 so I wasn't sure if they were correct.

I just ordered all four R1 rotors for my T/C in drilled and slotted. I also ordered Hawk HPS pads all around. I will let you know how things go. The rear pads are back ordered until the end of the month.
