discs are really easy to replace. Just take off your calipers. I believe there are only two bolts holding the calipers on. Once those are off there are only two screws holding the discs and walah!

It is easy... But what if your retaining screws get fuxed like how mine was when I was taking them off...

Hopefully the op doesn't have a hard time with those... And yes I used a impact screwdriver...

Nice. My rotors are kind of warped and im doing this SOON. When its cold out and i need to work on the car it used to suck. I bought a propane heater but i have a natural gas hook up(FREE) and now in about 15 minutes the garage is toasty warm. Its one of those round turbine looking heater deals. good investment

Whoa....you paid $200 for the front rotors only and they are R1 Concept Rotors....?

I have R1 Concept Rotors and I got all 4 with upgraded pads for $120...

Maybe you can't get them for that price anymore but that was only 7 or 8 months back.

Mine were drilled but the slotted were the same price...drilled was just my preference over the other.

R1 are good for the money but Rotora are going to be a higher quality rotor

Once I got the rotors worn in a bit...they were just fine and I think they add a nice touch to the wheels.

These R1's are a step up to a BBK when I have available funds.

Affordable & suitable for my needs is how I would describe them.

^ I think mine are starting to warp.

I'm starting to feel a little speed wobble when braking from highway speeds.

Don't think they are made to last which is why they are cheaper.

When they start to warp...can you just have them re-surfaced or something?

If they're drilled/slotted, I don't believe they can be re-surfaced... I've had my r1concepts since last fall, and haven't had any warping or any other problems.
