vs
Brake pads R1 Concepts or WAGNER
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
At 75K went with OEM rotors in the rear and some Wagner QS ZD1108 ceramic pads. Then went with some Brembo 09.C306.11 rotors in the front with EBC Reds ceramic pads. I don’t track. Stopping power is about the same. I didn’t notice a huge difference. What I did notice, much quieter stopping and NO MORE BROWN BRAKE DUST. Yes, still get brake dust but not nearly as much. And when it collects, it’s more of a light white dust. Easy to clean. Super happy with the change. Even in the winter, stopping power is good.
Pros: quieter stopping, less dust
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 75000 km
Wagner thermoquiet here. Works perfectly.
Pros: works perfectly
I’ve used Wagner thermoquiet pads and the cheapest wholesale close out rotor with good results.
Pros: good results, inexpensive
Bosch and Wagner rotors and ceramic pads are my preferred brands. I put new Wagner front brake pads on the Frontier 5 1/2 years ago and they still have about 3mm left.
Pros: long lasting, reliable
Vehicle:
Nissan

Pros: no brake dust, predictable stopping

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
R1 Concepts Track Pads. I used them for my daily and occasional track. I am too lazy to swap the pads. Hella dusty tho.
Pros: suitable for daily, track
Cons: very dusty

Cons: poor quality, unsafe
