    I purchased the R1s from them directly. Called them up and got a better deal than the eBay price. Very nice people to work with.

    I use these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/VehiCROSS-20...item5892f56e51

    I can't comment on the pads, since I only use Isuzu OEM's, but the rotors I purchased from them are top notch...

    If you're interested, call their 800#...they might sell the rotors without pads if you ask nice...

    Just a quick heads up,

    If you do any offroading/mudding, there is a higher risk of damaging your pads if you use slotted or drilled rotors, compared to road use. Debris like small rocks has the slight chance of getting into one of the rotor slots/holes and wedging in well enough to groove out your pad. It's rare but I have seen it first hand with a guy I work with who muds his Jeep. Wasn't the easiest thing to diagnose until we tore it down and noticed the worn pebble in his drilled rotor and the lovely fault line it scored through his pad. I do imagine this issue is quite rare, but possible.
