R1 Concepts Brake Rotors... opinions?
Hey, I came across these R1 concepts brake rotors on ebay selling for pretty cheap and I was just wondering has anybody had any experience with these or know of anybody who has? what's their quality like and how do they perform compared to a standard brake rotor?
sound like generic ebay crap to me. Do yourself a favor and buy known-brand brake components like Brembo. they're not very expensive, and the braking system is the LAST place you want to go "cheap" on the car.....

That is very true. If you want to go a cheaper way, Get Z32 calipers w/ 12.6" 6th Gen rotors or do Z32 calipers w/ 13" Cobra rotors
Z32 caliper w/ 13" Cobra rotors is the route I went.
THANKS IRISH!

As for Brembo blanks... aren't those costly? Doesn't Brembo sell their blanks to other companies to relabel them?

Those look nice... do they function well, and how much did they run you?
