Hey guys,
I'm replacing the rotors on my 97 SC400 and was curious if any of you had any experience with R1 Concepts rotors. I'll be getting the blanks (I see no real benefit in slotted or cross-drilled for street use). I've heard good things about them, but I like to get first hand experience, pros and cons.
Thanks!

I've bought a set of slotted rotors for my MR2 Turbo from them and they've held up really well. I drive my MR2 a lot harder than the SC so I would say their stuff is very comparable to factory rotors.

They are good rotors! I got them on the bmw, acura (when I had it) and my friend has them on his infinity. They do the job and I haven't had any issues with them. Rust issue I had on the Acura when I left it parked for about 3 weeks and it was raining, even then it was very minor surface rust probably no more then what happened to the stock rotors.

I have used R1 Concepts rotors on my last 4 cars and not one issue yet. They have held up very well and I will be buying a set for my '94 SC400 when the time comes to replace them.

R1 Concepts is selling quality rotors at bargain prices. Mine came with a coating and have never rusted. Although they will withstand most any street use, the slotted and drilled rotors (like most) were a poor choice for high speed HPDE.
I would not recommend these for track use. This happened on my last HPDE day at the fantastic high speed SCCA owned Thunderhill road course:![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v675/dvmartel/SC300/R1crackedrotor.jpg)
