Has anyone bought brakes from R1 Concepts? Any feedback you can pass along would be great.

Brake stuff right? If so I ordered my rear Power Slot brand rotors from their ebay store a while back and it was fine but they were Power Slots not the brand they have as their house brand. Their yelp has some less than stellar reviews on some of the products they stock under their own brand which would cause me to exercise hesitation in dealing with them. In the past I ordered from WS6store.com like when I did LS1 front brakes, Mike is a sponsor on here and I have never had a single issue with any of the many orders I have placed with him. Another place to check out is Porter Field Brakes, little pricey but I ordered the pads on my 93 from them. They were pretty helpful.

I sold Centric products for an independent parts store for a number of years and I think the rotors on their site look a lot like Centric's products to me, which isn't a bad thing from my experience. I noted even that they sell some of Centric's pad line.

The plan now is to get a set of Centric High Carbon front rotors, Hawk pads, and Russell SS lines, then flush with fresh DOT 4.

Thanks!

Brembo blanks & hawk HPS pads have always been my favorite.

Is there a source out there for Brembo blanks? I looked around the internet and came up dry.
Thanks,
Dave
