Rotors Feedback R1 Concepts vs. Zimmerman

Hello,
It is time to get brakes for front and rea of my C55r and I was wondering what is your feedback in rotors. I either wanna go with Zimmerman or R1 concepts.Of course Zimmerman are more affordable and they seem to have very good feedback.

Any thougths?

I am also going to use EBC red Stuff pads. Any feedback on pads will be greatly apprecited.

Thanks!

I never used EBC Red Stuff pads but what I currently have are the Akebono Euro Premium Ceramic pads, purchased them through Tirerack.com. They are great in my opinion. Quiet, almost no dust, braking with them is slightly better than OEM.

In another 5K -10K miles I will be replacing my rotors, pads, brake lines and thinking of going with Akebono for the pads again. I'm curious what everyone thinks of R1Concepts slotted and drilled rotors since for now that will be my choice.

I DON'T COME HERE ANYMORE

Castrol SRF or Motul 600 fluid, SS lines, Axxis pads (I hated mine, but others say good things) and upgrade to 2 pc hat and rotor-start to whittle down that unsprung weight!
