I see some of yous run the R1 concepts rotors...
Would like too know how their calipers are? anybody have any info for me?

Looking too buy drilled and slotted eline rotors and ceramic pads from R1... want too do calipers also... then I will have a chance too paint them with G2.

My prix has a little over 76000 miles for a 2000... still have the factory rotors and want to get rid of the cooling grooves. hahahhaha

Called R1 tonight... they said $399 for the whole deal, shipped

No calipers here, yet. I'm due in some F-Body calipers and brackets. Otherwise I run PowerSlot slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads. Sorry I can't help you out on this one.

I don't believe anyone here has the calipers.

I have the rotors and Hawk ceramic pads.

My rotors are pretty well worn with one set of pads. Not sure if the ceramics are the main culprit or what. But to give you an idea the slots on mine were almost gone when I changed pads.

I have their blank rotors with hawk pads. I will be switching back to powerslots as the R1 blanks squeel at low speeds after driving around for a bit.

I cant seem too find any reviews on these calipers, besides the few they have on the web site.

F-Body calipers. You can find 'em in junkyards, they're 12", they're dual-piston, and they look sexy. OH! and they work with Torque Star rims.

Front's are pretty straight forward iirc. All you need are the brackets with a slight mod, the calipers and rotors.

No big brake kit for the rear though.
