I have the EBC rotors and pads. Got them from Summit. They are 1000 times better than stock.

R1concepts premium rotors are centric premium rotors, and their e-line are centric standard rotors

I agree with the EBC's, I have 22's on my car and they tend to chew up rotors and brakes pretty bad. I have them on the front and rear with the red stuff brake pads and my car squats when I mash the pedals. It is far and beyond better than stock. They are only like $25 more than what your looking at and will give you better performance.

I also have the drilled/slotted rotors from Brakemotive off Ebay. Great rotors and great customer service. I bought a set and after 5 weeks they started to drip rust after washing the car. I was pissed At first, I called the customer service rep and he told me I'm out of luck since they don't warranty for rust. This really pissed me off since this was happening only after a month. I was about to send them a "spirited" email when I got a call from Adam @ Brakemotive. He looked at a few pics I sent to customer service and he agreed with me that it was too soon to be showing that much rust. So, he sent me a brand new set that looked like they had a much thicker coat of Zinc. They are definitely a nice improvement over the OEM's. And I love the clean look they have with my aftermarket wheels.
