vs
Brake pads R1 Concepts or OEM Hyundai
Reviews
I just switched to R1 concepts Geomet pads, and drilled and slotted rotors. They're just as good as OEM from what I can tell.
Pros: as good as OEM
For me as an owner of a 2019 Hyundai Veloster with 60k and after 5 years of ownership , the only thing I had to do was change the oil , filter and brake pads.
Pros: reliable, easy maintenance
Vehicle:
Hyundai Veloster
Mileage: 60000 km
R1 concepts were an upgrade on my 2nd gen and got me through 4 years of abuse because the OEM ones would brake fade terribly. On my Camry they only lasted a year.
Pros: 4 years of abuse, no brake fade
Cons: only lasted a year on Camry
I put a set of r1 concepts pads and rotors on my wrx that I daily got them off Amazon for like $250 and came in like 2 days had them on for around 7500 miles and haven't had any issues.
Pros: no issues, fast shipping
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 7500 km
I have R1 concepts from Amazon, perfect for the car and stopping power.
Pros: perfect stopping power
Vehicle:
Kia
I am just now contemplating a sad goodbye to my 2003 Elantra VLE. It needs a brake job but has become a rust bucket driving in harsh winter conditions, Ottawa, Montreal.
Pros: basic maintenance diligently done
Cons: rust bucket
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra

Pros: no issues

We got our top of the line 2015 Starex brand new when it was released in 2016. Still works, did have a lot of repairs. It used to travel to and from QC to Baguio in it's early days but now mainly within Metro Manila (QC to Las Pinas, QC to Manila). It's got a lot of mileage now and the suspensions and break pads need fixing on top of having electricals reworked (fuses of some functions had to be removed cause they were malfunctioning). Basically running po siya but needs a lot of work done.
Pros: still running
Cons: a lot of repairs
Vehicle:
Hyundai
After two years or so I get horrible squealing when I stop in reverse. Rusting is pretty bad too.
Cons: horrible squealing, bad rusting
I used to own a 2012 sonata and one day last year the brakes started acting extremely sensitive and would even to activate on their own (it would cancel out cruise control when my foot wasn’t touching the brakes) and would cause my car to feel like it was stalling out.
Cons: extremely sensitive, activate on own, car stalling
Vehicle:
Hyundai Sonata
