    Best,
    I prefer the appearance of drilled only rotors, & the price i$ attractive too.

    Won't you however be giving up the advantage of the self cleaning feature of the slots, thus potentially extending the life of rotor/pad?

    Best,
    That's one opinion on drilled only vs drilled/slotted...

    Hey buddy if you decide to install drilled, slotted rotors go for the R1 concepts.

    They are better & their customer services is excelent,you can pay over the phone,ask questions, etc.

    I purchased R1 concepts rotors & so far the have hold up very good.
    The pads you shall go in person & get them at auto store.Just get the very best you can afford to.

    Are the R1s a good alternative to Stock Rotors, Or are they an improvement. With my new Wheels/Tires I'm in need of an upgrade... My brakes were replaced about 5K ago (previous owner) Both Rotors and Pads (pads are a ceramic dust free I believe) And Rotors I'm fairly certain are OE. (I'll have to check the receipts).

    Is there any "big brake" kit that's compatible with our vehicles? Are our stock calipers plenty good?

    Just tryin' to be safe here

    About the biggest bang for your buck is the stainless steel brake lines.

    I've never seen "big brake" or multi piston calipers offered for our application.
