I just picked up an OEM R1 Concepts set for my Civic 04 fronts and they are great! I know its a bit off topic but i just thought i shared.

 

you can get R1 "Premium rotors" which uses the premium rotors from Centric, which are the same blanks as the StopTechs. If you are non-brembo I'm sure they can do it for $300. The only thing is you need to go to Autozone and buy a 5 dollar can of high-temp paint and spray it so the slots and holes won't rust.

.. I know there are some fervent anti-R1 people here.. but i bought their rotors and I'm perfectly happy with it

 

^+1.

 

Yeah R1 is not bad at all. They are building quite a name. Have you seen their rims? Very nice stuff.... I know its off topic again but hey.

 

^wow your sig has so many colors it took me a while to read it

.. and PM riverside infiniti if you want a 06 front bumper (i assume you want the sport one).. they cutted me a really good deal

 

Whats a good deal? I am gettign it local for $210 from the dealer.... Can he do better with shipping?

BTW just highlight the signature and everything will show up nicely!

 

^ya i think 210 is about as good as it gets.. a used one is gonna cost that much with shipping unless you can find one locally

 

I been trying to find one local for a LONG time. No luck yet =(

 

this went froom a rotors thread to a bumper thread...

 

Is OC Autosports still on ebay? I have been looking and I am not finding them????

 

I have been meaning to know the answer to that too. I e-mailed them about 3 weeks ago and they have yet to respond

 

I have read about R-1 having bad customer service, but I pm'd Chris form R-1 on G35 Frenzy and he emailed me the next day. In fact I pm'd him several times and he always responded within 24 hours (unless it was the weekend and then he responded on Monday). As I have written before; R-1 and most other brake distributors get their blanks from Centric (they own StopTech and PowerSlot) and drill holes in them. They then sell them as their own brand of rotors. I currently have R-1 premium rotors on my G35 sedan and have had no rust problems. Also FYI rotors are made of iron and when you introduce moisture and oxygen they all will rust. I have read posts by people who have BBK from big name companies that have rust problems with their rotors. I belive T-Trank stated in a thread that his rotors (BBK) had rust on them. Believe what you want about R-1, but I have had nothing but good luck with them.

 

This is not for R1 rotors. We were talking about OCautosports

 

I think the only thing people are complaining about is the rust problem on the hubs. I heard if you spray paint them before installing, you won't have rust problems with the R1 rotors

 

I realize you were talking about OC Autosports. My point (I realize I wasn't clear) was there have been people saying R-1 has bad customer service because of email not being returned. It looks like OC Autosports has the same problem.

The hubs on the premium are already painted black so they will not rust. The only thing that would rust is the surface the pad contacts and the drill/slots. I believe the people who have complained are complaining about the rust on the surface swept by the pads and in the drilled and slotted areas.

I have read more positive things about R-1 than negative (especially on G35 Frenzy). The negative I have read is always by the same few people.
