R1 Concepts
 
So how is everyone doing with thier R1's, i believe i am going to purchase a set of 4 today :D yea now I can have better stopping power and jazz up the car a bit.

Mike Jones 06-22-2007 04:16 PM

I'm not sure but the front rotors I have now might be R1's. If so I've been very happy with them as they've been on the car for two years with no problems whatsoever.

98CamaroZ28 06-22-2007 04:19 PM

thats awesome, the rotors that my dad bought a couple years ago are rusting because they didnt have and paint or plating, so I am def gonna replace all 4 corners, the front rotors are still good but it leaves a lot of rust every where when they get wet...

Mike Jones 06-22-2007 04:25 PM

Well any rotor that's been used will rust when they get wet really.

98CamaroZ28 06-22-2007 04:32 PM

well the zinc plating or painted rotors dont rust around the middle of the rotor and mine do, I might be able to get a pic of the rust...its nasty, wasnt talking about the braking surface area.

96camaro 06-22-2007 07:30 PM

I've had mine for a year and no problems.

98CamaroZ28 06-22-2007 08:28 PM

Just bought them, how long did it take for shipping? I guess I will find out with UPS tracker. Im guessing a week to two weeks.

A-RoN'sZ 06-22-2007 10:29 PM

Awesome man! Be sure and post when you get them. I wanna know how they work out.

massin 06-23-2007 01:26 AM

I have has mine for almost 2 years with no problems. It took them about 2 weeks to ship because of backorders.

98CamaroZ28 06-23-2007 03:04 AM

I see, 2 weeks will be ok with me, time to go hard on my old rotors lol...

A-RoN'sZ 06-23-2007 03:07 AM

Lol tear it up

98CamaroZ28 06-23-2007 03:09 AM

A-RoN'sZ 06-23-2007 03:13 AM

this is from a Camaro owner on streetfire.net that I talk to, its totaly worth the 124.99$ for these rotors.

A-RoN'sZ 06-23-2007 03:18 AM

A-RoN'sZ 06-23-2007 03:50 AM

Thanks...sounds awesome, and that's for a set of four too right?

98CamaroZ28 06-23-2007 03:55 AM

yup all 4 corners drilled and slotted zinc plated, diamond slots the whole 9 yards, its 168 with shipping! I handed my Dad 125$ and told him to take care of shipping and he called it a deal, now I have to mow my lawn to pay for shipping how lame...******...:banghead:

A-RoN'sZ 06-23-2007 04:03 AM

Lol I know all about that, but mowing isn't bad when your dad goes on a mid life crisis trip and buys a $6500 Gravely lawn mower. Yea I just check the link and those brakes are pretty much bad ***. My shipping was more expensive tho $48.26.

A-RoN'sZ 06-23-2007 04:04 AM

Dude I just now figured out that the forum sensors by itself lol...I had always done it myself before. Wow I'm tired

98CamaroZ28 06-23-2007 04:12 AM

yea its got a lango filter **** **** ***** **** ...

A-RoN'sZ 06-23-2007 04:14 AM

Yea I ****** noticed it finally after a month of being around and I guess about two weeks of being a member lol

MyFirstCamaro 06-23-2007 04:04 PM

well one your not gonig to get much better preformance out of them unless you get new pads along with it and good luck cleaning the calipers to paint them it took me 5 hours to do just th front......but yeah im very happy with them and look great, but the zinc coating is only going to last a few days on the actual disc part of the rotor

paarman97maro 06-24-2007 02:14 AM

just so you know the zinc plating doesnt really do **** haha... They are still gonna rust over on the braking surface in rain.. The hub will probably be the only place that doesnt oxidize, but you dont see that ever.

98CamaroZ28 06-24-2007 02:55 PM

yea thats the whole point, the hub surface on my rotors now are rusting in the front, and of course I am getting new brake pads on all 4 corners.

MyFirstCamaro 06-24-2007 11:07 PM

the zinc plating wore off actually the same day when i went to break in the pads.....but they have this gunmetal machine finish color and they go perfectly with my wheels ....i was kinda mad when i saw they turned a little black but i've grown use to it

and with the hub staying nice and silver its makes a huge difference
