One thing I noticed with the semi-mets is they have to warm up to get really great braking. Cold they do well, but warm the car feels like it'll nose dive with a tap. 
I like those R1s. They're pretty popular with the Impala owners and I've been wanting to get some. They look great from behind those rims!  |
I can't agree more Sabre. I have only driven on them a little bit and the stopping difference is like night and day. The pad surface was almost double that of the stock brake pads GM provides. I really notice the bite when going at slow speeds to a stop. You can FEEL them grip and hold. I think the slots on the disc help to only capture more of that grip.
I am glad I made the choice to go with the R1 Concepts. I paid $200 bucks even for all 4 discs and a full set of Posi Quiet Ceramic pads. You CANT BEAT THAT!!
I can safely say stop waiting! Get em :
