R1 Concepts rotors but make sure you get the premiums. they are worth the extra money. Also they shine a lil more. You wont be disappointed

 

i also went with R1 Concept rotors because they were supposedly bought by Stoptech thus having the same rotors when you go with the premiums. I went with e-lines drilled and slotted instead with stock pads and they are great. I painted the hub area with brake caliper paint(makes it look better)

deff recommend R1 Concept rotors.

 

Do not order from HorsePower Freaks. They have horrible customer service and prices that are ridiculous. I have experienced them first hand and would never do business with them ever again.

This is some good info. Keep pouring it out guys.

 

im thinking on getting these R1 concepts for my ls400 upgrade but when choosing the rotor do i have to get it to fit it for an ls400 or sc300?

 

Someone mentioned Centric rotors in a previous post. They are the sister company to stoptech and make great products. Blanks are $46 each on Amazon. They also have a line named powerslot which are premium rotors as well. Visit their website for more information.

 

Order it for a Ls400

 

I got the stop-tech drilled rotors and akebono pads. I also did the good ridge, I think, Steel braided lines from TireRack.



I really like the look, there is a really slight shimmy when first applying the brakes. Its very slight though. I think it might have something to do with the rotors. It was fine before with the stock brakes. They were pretty cheap though...I think 78 a side. I would purchase them again. I just wish they made more pads the the ls400 calipers. I would like something with some more bite than the akebonos.

 

Thanks.......

 

Not trying to steal this thread but Im just wonderin'... With the LS400 Calipers, obviously you have to request LS400 pads (at Auto Zone, etc.); so what year are they?

 

try 1996 thats what i got

 

I chose to go local just for the return policy and so on if I had a problem. I went with Oreilys rotors and pads, both Werner. I like them a lot and have had zero issues with them. When I first got my rotors in, I sanded mine down and painted them with VHT clear coat and allow to dry overnight. This has completely stopped the rust so far. Been like this for about 4-5 months now. This is what I have found out to be the cheapest method to avoid the rust.

 

I saw powerstop slotted rotors on there for $50 a piece.

 

Many of the 2013 Formula 1 cars including Mclaren are using Akebono brake pads FYI

 

Whats the deal with those plated rotors? Any vouches for them? I can probably zinc plate them myself using electrolysis but tryina decide if it'll last and worth the trouble.

If its good to go then plating the calipers doesnt seem like a bad idea either.

 

So these are '96 then?

Thanks!
(I gotta get new pads asap).
