Well, I was at myspace and there was an adervertisement R1 concepts
www.r1concepts.com They mostly deal with brakes rotors and pads, SS lines for every car and racecars too..

Prices are good, I realy need to replace mine front and back.

I wanted to ask you guys about this place first.

I've thought about that GSX upgrade but I'd rather keep'em stock but better rotors, pads, SS..


Sorry, if this is supposed to be in another area.

Why did you put my name in the title? emoji

Just because I get to play admin doesn't mean I know everything. emoji

I've never had anything other than stock brakes on any of my cars. Even the GSX conversion on the Talon has stock GSX rotors and pads on it. Duralast or something from Autozone. I forget. emoji

What Duralast their too cheap its the same as Bendix, they wear too fast. emoji

R1 concepts is a good deal, they in a set front/rear for the pads and same for the rotors.

I'm gonna order them and will post my opinions about them after the install.

At first I was looking towards PowerSlot rotors and Hawk pads, till I found R1 concepts.

I paid about 3 bills for the gsx fronts with new bembro rotors and pads with %80 life on then not a bad deal.

How about price for the GSX calipers, would I have to buy New wheel hubs/innerbearings to handle this big swap

you don't need new hubs or bearings, if your wheels aren't 16" or bigger you'll have to step up to bigger wheels, all you need for the swap is rotors, calipers with brackets, pads, and fluid. not a bad idea to do stainless lines while you're in there. the only other thing you need to do is cut or bend the dust plate behind the rotor cause it won't fit

Thankyou, dust plates will be removed. They all look like crap anyway rusty real bad.

My wheels are 16" factory like similar to the OlD ENEKI's discontined style.

This will be a big improvement,caliper will be painted red and SS lines are going on as well.
