Brake pads R1 Concepts or Tesla
Reviews
I ran R1 concepts for my tc2 for over four years. An improvement over stock’s brake fading prone design. Not badly priced too
Pros: improvement over stock
Cons: brake fading prone
Pastiglie freni: le cambi dopo 200.000 km
Pros: lunga durata
Mileage: 200000 km
I have a 2018 Tesla Model 3 with 60k miles on it. Never been serviced beyond tires replaced, cabin air filter replaced and adding window washer fluid. Brakes look brand new.
Pros: Brakes look brand new
Mileage: 96560 km
I've had really good luck after swapping to R1 Concepts pads and rotors on my Taos. no brake dust and predictable stopping.
Pros: no brake dust, predictable stopping
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
With regenerative braking, you almost never need to replace brake pads.
Pros: regenerative braking
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
I slapped in some r1 concepts pads and rotors on both of my Subarus after the oem ones kept warping.
Cons: oem ones kept warping
Vehicle:
Subaru
Rear motor oil pump. Plus the famous Tesla control arms and heat pump. A brake pad also disintegrated into nothing, so that was a weird one.
Mileage: 170000 km
I originally had r1 concepts rotors and pads but the pads started to squeak like crazy at slow speeds. Rotors were still good so I put on akebono pads and they are perfect.
Pros: they are perfect
Cons: pads started to squeak
I've had a lot of warranty repairs for my 2018 Tesla model 3: both sides for front upper control arms, both side rear suspension, a gear oil motor leaked, and an inverter. Paid out-of-pocket (not warranty) for both sides front wheel bearings, front brake rotors and pads, rear brake rotors and pads, front windshield, roof glass, and now paint and rust work around the fenders and rocket panels.
Cons: a lot more than expected
Mileage: 72000 km
