R1 Concepts rotors and pads

[Donovan]

Anyone have experience with R1 Concepts rotors and or pads?

I am thinking about replacing my stock set with these.

link?

I've decided to go with Powerslot against Brembo Sports.

Life is about trying new things.

I almost did.. but I changed my mind. They make me nervous for some reason, even though their price is unbeatable (Ebay)...

Don't the powerslot rotors have issues with cracking since they slot all the way out to the edge of the rotor? If you look at most other brands they leave about and 1/8th to 1/4 of an inch before the end of the rotor. I think PBC has pictures showing how they crack on the edge of the rotor at the end of the slot...

Those cost so little that I would be afraid to use them.

I purchased Bavarian Autosport - crossdrilled & slotted (Ultimate) rotors about 6 months ago... however, my local shop that 'specializes' in euro cars had either not installed them properly or had used too hard of pads (never any dust WHATSOEVER on the wheels ?!?), because they are now bent to HELL & every time I step on the brake my watch falls of due to vibration... so the moral of the story, slotted & crossdrilled (in my opinion) bend too easily and further, can not be resurfaced, so I'm going back to OEM rotors ($300 later)... incidentally, does anyone know who the original manufacturer of OEM BMW rotors/pads is???

I think it changes from time to time. I read on the internet that they use Balo and I am inclined to think also Ate.
