I have R1 Concepts slotted rotors and ceramic pads, huge upgrade in performance over the stock setup.
Have r1s on my wrx, I like them so far, been a few months with some hard usage.
I recently installed Brembo rotors and pads on my ‘14 Mazda 6. Under $400 on tire rack. The performance is great so far; they bite harder than OEM and are quiet with low dust.
I have the same, good feel, stopping power is ridiculous. Careful in the wet though, they really don't like it.
New Brembo front rotors. New StopTech brake pads at 75k miles
I ended up buying the drill and slotted rotors from R1 concept and I have the Akebono Brakes. I have had them for a little over a year now and it has been great. My brake power feels better than before and the brake pads are also really great.
Get thicker ones (5.5mm). I also warped my stock ones and got Brembo supersports instead, I feel like they withstand whatever I throw at them.
My OEM Calipers are still looking good at 200k. I just put OEM pads and Brembo Rotors for less than 200 bucks. Next time I will be doing the 199 Caliper and Rotor Upgrade.
I really hate to say this but you paid way too much for those front brake discs. But I don't understand why these pins were so stuck, mine were rusted just like yours but a couple of bangs with a hammer and steel pin and they just flew out.
I personally have had a bad experience with r1 brakes two different times on two different cars. Not saying they're bad just won't buy again. Rotors warped almost immediately both times. New pads and rotors on both cars.
