Then, I bought ATE rotors and kept OE pads. ATE resolved problems; there was no vibrating for 22,000 miles so far!
I got ate powerdiscs and they are pretty good! I got them as a set with ate pads. I wish they had a bit more bite but maybe that’s due to being 296mm, maybe bigger brakes are needed next time
Have been putting r1concept rotors on my vehicles for 10 years. Corolla, lexus is 250, ford f150, saab 9-3, volvo xc 90. Have always gotten drilled/slotted braking performance seems to be twice as good. The last few cars I know I got my geomet rotors and ceramic pads. But 8 years ago got rotors on my lexus. Felt great never really had a problem. I was showing off in the back roads of wv, super hill, county roads. Maybe a 20 minute drive and I did have the car filled with people. Hit 95 mph a couple times. Everything was fine got back parked, my back rotors were smoking for atleast 10 minutes very visible. Still never had any issues after that. That is apparently super common. Not cause for too much concern. Never had it with any other vehicle any other time. I speed excisively. Just saying if you intend to use them for a track car I'd wanna be aware of that. Who knows if the geomet rotors would've improved things.
I have a drilled and slotted set with performance pads from R1 Concepts (was going ti replace pads but 1 rotor was bad). I have had them for about 4 months now and only complaint us the squeeky pads. I have a larger vehicle (Forester) so i feel the fade a bit sooner than most, but i feel these rotors do a good job of preventing that. I dont ride the brakea that hard but its still noticable.
I have been using r1concepts brakes since my first car over a decade ago. There brakes can be found at jegs, amazon and rock auto. Compared a 2021 receipt to current. I don't have any experience with powerstop. But r1 concepts brakes are way better then factory I've gotten metallic and ceramic pads the eline and geo line of rotors. Geo was so good. Typical rotors in the winter when you park in the garage and the next day the first brake has that squeal where your breaking the rust off of the rotor the geos never had that problem. I always got drilled and slotted and it definitely significantly improved breaking and I never had an R1concept rotor fail.
I’ve been getting r1 concepts after the oem rotors warped, never had a problem since.
I bought R1 Concepts vented and slotted rotors and EBC Yellow stuff brake pads. This is on my 2021 AWD Turbo. I still got more break in to do, but the difference is huge and immediately noticeable.
I’ve been running these for a few years….much better than the stock oem
These guys make great stuff and their customer service, if you need it, is exceptional. Only thing I put on my cars. My Mazda CX5 has drilled and slotted rotors, and my 13 C70 has slotted rotors. I will probably go with the Geo Carbons when my S60 needs them as I talked to a V60 owner that had them and he said those were the ones to get.
Just did a brake job, new ATE OEM rotors up front with new Hawk HPS pads. Just did the run to bed them in, and I'm hearing a wierd noise. When I step on the brakes at a moderate or heavy level I hear kind of a "plunking" noise, I guess you could call it. It has a rhythm that changes with the speed of the car (i.e. the plunking slows down as the wheels slow down).
