for the price.....why not?

CUSTOMGAGT2000SEDAN · 07-29-2008, 12:31 PM

so are these grip force f1 brakes the r-1 exact quality / finish . i know they look it from photo . but they say photo not be exact ones you buy. i see they sell stop-tech as seen on r-1 website.

cardude007617 · 07-29-2008, 12:33 PM

i just ordered a F/R drilled/slotted set from R1 with ceramic pads...we shall see how it goes; price was right though

CUSTOMGAGT2000SEDAN · 07-29-2008, 12:53 PM

yes keep us informed and close up photo's aspecially of the surfaces and edges and vents etc etc. to see the quality up close and real. keep us informed as to how they handle etc etc. thanks

cardude007617 · 07-29-2008, 08:27 PM

im a bit worried though...it came to like 280 shipped, either they are just a more reasonable company or they sell total crap. i guess ill find out

I)ark-ChiLD · 07-29-2008, 09:03 PM

I recently bought the R1 Concepts w/ pads...no complaints...much better stopping power...+ very cheap...cost me $200 installed. Off Ebay.

alerored04 · 07-29-2008, 09:09 PM

I bought those rotors two years ago. They work well but are now warped but a 2 year life span is pretty good. I am happy with them and they will last another year until I can afford to do the vette swap.

cardude007617 · 07-29-2008, 09:28 PM

so the general consensus is they make some good stuff it sounds like. i bet theyre gonna look awesome too

boost21 · 07-29-2008, 09:40 PM

My R1's didn't even last a year....after that I decided to just get some good non slotted/drilled ones with a 2 year warrenty

cardude007617 · 07-29-2008, 09:57 PM

crap, that doesnt sound so good^

boost21 · 07-29-2008, 10:17 PM

I still have them I think, Ill take a pic tomorrow if they are in the garage

CUSTOMGAGT2000SEDAN · 07-29-2008, 10:43 PM

that's why i look at all these aftermarket brakes are they any better then any of the brands i mentioned i can get at Cdn -Tire in canada.

to me even $158 for 2 rotors is bit more then the best cdn-tire offers monroes etc . add to that the ship and customs for any of these other aftermarkets brakes . my 13% tax will look good after all that.

hope they get this camaro brake swap down pat soon. ALL THE DETAILS .

boost21 · 07-29-2008, 10:50 PM

all the parts for the swap are in the one post...ive had mine for almost a year. Probably one of the best things Ive done to the car. Stock brakes felt like the petal was a sponge.
