I have used R1concepts rotors before...They are no different than any of the other Chinese cast brakes, except they are Slotted and/or drilled

did you like them?

I would ask you to reconsider a drilled rotor on a street car. They just have a tendency to crack too much. Race cars, ok. Heavy street cars? There are better options.

I concue.

Take a look at the offerings from Power Slot. ( http://www.powerslot.com/ )

are you all saying that cross drilled ones are bad or that company? should i just go with slotted ones and not crossed drilled and slotted? i checked out the power slot and they want like $90 per rotor thats 2x the price of the r1 i know you get what you pay for but i dont use the truck for towing or racing just more concerned about water and stuff 4x4,thought they would help for that

EBC has spot faced rotors, and their price had come back down to about $75 each last Fall. Try those, I agree with others to avoid drilled rotors. They look pretty but don't make any noticeable change, other than noise. All rotors that are not perfectly smooth will have a little noise from air being trapped by the pads. The noise is not bad, just unusual, some people like it. Good luck,

Its the drilled rotors that are not recommended.

Find the cryo rotors for your truck, those are the best you can get. They do cost over $110 each though, about $150 for the 95+ trucks. I just searched again, I'm likely going to try the Power Slot cryo 8754CS* rotors for my truck(2001 Sport Trac 4WD front rotors).

does anyone know if 92s have 2.2 inch tall rotors or 2.5 tall on the front

 

[wolfnutts]

i believe the rotors came in both sizes the only way to be sure is to take it off lay it flat an measure

 

[Spdrcer34]

Be VERY careful when ordering rotors for a `91 or `92. All of the ones on eBay that I have ever seen advertise the SAME part number for 91 through 94. And we all know that is IMPOSSIBLE to do, as 91 & 92 didn't have Front ABS. When I got mine I had to remove the ABS sensor ring, as it was interfering with my splash shield screws.

After I got that situated, the rotor height was still a bit too tall, and it was bottoming out on the center bore of my Saleen Rim.

Get the 2.2" ones, and make sure it doesn't have the ABS ring on there when you install them.

Wait for a sale .. TireRack sometimes cuts Brembo prices in half. A few weeks ago, a rotor for my E-350 was 50% off regular retail price ($75 for each Brembo rotor).

i ran the R1's on my eclipse for 2 years on the street and at the track i never had any issues with them if they can stop a heavy awd car from 140-150mph to 0 without any issues then i dont see any problem with using them (my car was heavly modified just so i dont get any replies that eclipses dont do 150mph)

I've had a set of drilled & slotted rotors on the front of my truck for a couple years now. Not sure what brand; I bought them from Napa, but they were spendier than $80/pair.

Haven't had any issues with 'em what-so-ever.
