R1 Concepts Brake set - anyone have any experience

Time to replace the rotors and pads, (103k miles, on 3rd set of pads, surprised the rotors lasted this long).

Found this kit on amazon, curious if it's worth it, or if I should just stick to OEM rotors and pads (cost would be less)

R1 Concepts produces quality brake parts. They always show a big presence at SEMA & are a huge hit on many performance vehicles. I had them on my Jeep SRT8 and they stopped that brick quickly from speeds above 100. I just wish they had the option of cross-drilled and/or slotted as a full set. You can buy individual kits for both axles seperately

We are a vendor here on the forum so I'll be able to help you out and get you a great price on these brakes unless you've already purchased a set.

I have not made the purchase yet. I did reach out to the chat support directly on your web site, there was a kit being sold, fronts and rears, the fronts where neither slotted nor cross drilled, only the rears.

That, and I'm hoping someone has experience with them, as I don't want to be Guinea pig number one
