R1 concepts help

Well since my front EBC rotors are going bad already (less than 7k), I'm getting some R1's since I've seen only positive reviews on them. I'm gonna go with blank rotors and a ceramic pad. Here's the question, which ceramic? There's Posi-quiet and R1 pads. Any major difference for the extra $10?

No problem! I know they aren't ceramics but I love mine, I run R1 slotted with HPS all around. So much of an improvment over stock, just need to put in my ATE superblue fluid and I'll be set.

Honestly though I have heard that just stock replacement (USA made) rotors are better because they contain more actual metal, not like R1's which are probably made in China. Even if it is true I like my R1's

Ya my drilled and slotted EBC's literally make the whole car vibrate whenever I brake. It's literally a WUBWUBWUB noise. We went through like 3 sets of rotors for this car within the first 25K (warranty of course). My car eats stock rotors like no tomorrow. I hope going to blank R1's with dust-free pads will fix the issue for good.

Ive had my R1 rotors for just over 2 years, I can feel alittle bit of vibration in the break pedal if I push it down lightly. Not bad at all. They are a solid rotor. I have over 40k miles on mine.

I've had R1 concept premium drilled and slotted rotors with Hawk HPS pads for 70,000 miles now. The stopping power is amazing!
