Post Rotor Decision!!!?

Hey Guys!!

I still try to to decide what kind of rotor should I get.
I read a lot about R1 concepts rotors and I still don't know if they are good or not. Anybody? HELP!!!
Also I found these and they are made in the USA.
I never heard of Dimple-Drilled and sloted rotors but it sounds good especially because it is comes with brake pads and they are give you LIFETIMEwarrantyagainst warping and mefects in materials & workmanship.

What are you guys think about these???

i need now rotors also. after reading heeltoe's tech article, ive decided to get the racingbrake rotors through him. theyre more expensive than the set youre looking at but i'd spring for the quality.

R1's are in use on the forum and i think theyre well reviewed. thats another option...

The lifetime warranty sounds nice. I'm not sure how their quality is though, but I figure the lifetime warranty would cover anything wrong. Do the racingbrake rotors also include lifetime warranty?

Thanx!
I defenetly DO NOT wanna get less performance than the stock rotors, better or equal good as OEM.
I don't race whit my car I only use it for daily drives.
The only problem what I have with my stock rotor is that ugly rust witch is reflecting on my chrome wheels!!
Any suggestion??

I use the Power Slot rotors. They're very good in my opinion.

For me the biggest difference was getting used to the ceramic pad versus the organic pad that was on it. The initial bite isn't as sticky as they take a little heat to get sticky. Otherwise I like them more especially the non existant brake dust!

I got mine from Advance Auto because of the lifetime warranty. I like the idea of a brick and mortar store for the warranty. They are the Wagner discs and I think Wagner pads. It's been several months so I don't remember 100% on the pads.

Incidentally, Advance's website shows ceramic as stock but there was to much brake dust on my rims when I bought it for it to be ceramic.
