Brake pads R1 Concepts or OEM Hyundai
Reviews
I used the R1 concepts drilled and slotted kit with pads. Front and rear total was like 500 bucks. Did it myself. They work great.
Pros: work great, easy install
They seem good so far. I'm not very handy and I was able to put them on pretty easily.
Pros: easy to install, good so far
I have a 21 Kona this was my 3rd winter with it here in NL, no rust proofing and they love using 1000% salt on our roads, no issue on my whatsoever. I have it checked every time we get our wheels changed sometimes they have to greese the pins on the breaks but no corrosion or anything.
Pros: no corrosion issues
Vehicle:
Hyundai

Rotors were getting rusted decided to have them replaced with R1 Concepts Brake pads and Drilled/Slotted rotors. They perform a little better than the OEM with a quicker breaking point.
Pros: quicker breaking point
Cons: rotors were getting rusted
Replaced all four disc brake pads (not rotors) at 109,000 kilometres. Recent highway travel in very harsh winter conditions on new blizzaks over 7 days.
Pros: great traction on ice
Cons: transmission was weak
Vehicle:
Hyundai Tucson
Mileage: 109000 km
Pros: they fit perfectly, offer great performance and are cool enough to work on immediately after driving. Con: they sent the brakes for the electric parking brake when I have the cable parking brake. They have been 0 help in providing the bracket to adapt it to the cable break.
Pros: perfect fit, great performance
Cons: wrong brake type sent
then somehow the brake pads fell off, the windscreen wiper stopped working in the middle of a storm
Cons: brake pads fell off
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
Rockauto carries Dynamic Friction kits. People will say "Rockauto is cheap shit" and then recommend R1 Concepts. But Dynamic Friction OWNS R1 Concepts and all of their pads and rotors are the same. Only difference is R1 does drilled and slotting while Dynamic are just blank rotors. So you really don't have to spend the extra money on R1 stuff. Also, you don't need slotted rotors for everyday driving. Heck, even some track guys still use blanks just fine. Only thing to worry about for track is pads, which I wouldn't recommend any of the R1 stuff for. Had one of their pads claiming both track and street but their pad material on one of their pads completely disintegrated on track.
Cons: pad material disintegrated
