bhurlbut: Did you ever get them turned back around?

 

For what it's worth, Posi are either semi-metallic OR ceramic... Posi-Quiet is actually the name brand... just thought I would mention since I spoke with R1 about it...

Another side note.. the Posi Ceramic and Semi-Metallic are actually the same price at R1....

 

SeaKnight: I did turn the rotors around when I intalled my Tein basic's last weekend. For everyone else......so far so good! If there aren't any problems soon I would def say R1 is one of those diamond in the rough companys..

 

I just ordered 4 premium with Hawk HPS pads... Came out to $480 w/shipping.

 

Just put a new R1 rotors on all four corners of my girlfriends G35x and for $230 for rotors and pads I must say I am highly highly impressed by the performance.

So much so that I am going to pick up a pair for my CL-S when these ones go out.

 

how is the rotors on ebay I am thinking about just buying it online auction#260249877587

 

about your new tires your looking to buy, PLEASE don't buy the ast's, they are a crap tire, you will be very unhappy with them, trust me I sold them for the last year and they are not for our car. If you have a shop that is selling Kumho tires, look at the Kumho ecsta LX platinum, it is a new tire from Kumho, with excellent all season traction for all the rain you get, and super quiet, and at a "w" speed rating they are still rated from Kumho at 60,000 miles and shouldn't be too much more than those crappy ast's your looking at, jmo

 

mrclrider: thanks, I appreciate your input. I still haven't decided on any brand or any model yet.........I still have to receive and install the Progress Rear Sway and Moog endlinks to go with my new Teins. I definitely will ask opinions about tires once I have the suspension dialed in to where I want it.

 

bhurlbut, I just ordered some Falken FK452's for my CLS. They should be comming in tomorrow and i'll install and let you know how those are. I opted for 235/45/17

 

You'll like the 235/45's- They are noticeably beefier. My buddy had the 452's on his Volvo S60 R and he loved 'em.

 

I got the 452's installed yesterday. Gotta say i'm loving them right now. Took a slightly banked turn that I usually do 40 and I did 45 with no problems and the car held its line. On the straight, it would usually spin 1st when v-tec engages and then a bit on 2nd. Now it chip, vtec, 2nd no problem and pulls like a mule.

 

Awesome!! post some pics when you can

Hey are you a vendor on this site now? If not I don't think you're allowed to have an account advertising your business without paying to be an official vendor...


I have R1's on my CL, and they are awesome.

 

anyone know how these compare to Rotora's?

 

Rotora's are a lot better...even though, to be honest I don't have any complaints about my R1's...some other members do though.

 

thx. i've had the Rotora's and they were good before but i really like the look of these R1's. also still considering the EBC's.

 

btw, are these rotors made by the same company that makes R1 Racing wheels?

 

no, two different companies

 

I've had these on for a few thousand miles now and i couldn't be happier! $300 all around for pads and slotted/drilled rotors! Looks great through the 19's!
