Default new rotors....

Ok, I'm looking at getting some new rotors. i found some pretty nice ones, I think, on ebay for 189 for F/R. They are R 1 concepts. Anyone know if these are descent?
Also, how hard is it to rmove the stock ones and replace with new ones? Oh, I have a type-s. I'm the type where I'm pretty inclined mechanically and if I haven't done something before I like to try. I'm probably gonna have my dad help being he's worked on a few vehicals before. Any tips would be helpful too. Thanx in advance

Rotor replacement is quite straightforward. All you need to do is remove the brake caliper and then take off the rotors. I think there is a write-up on kseries.com or clubrsx.com

Try to go with something or more reputable like brembo o.e.'s. Unfortunately brembo only has rears for the Type-S, soon they'll have the fronts. They come in slotted, drilled or blank. I've had these on my M3 and they felt great. Go for big name companies, like Hawk, ATE, Brembo

cobalt friction is a good site to browse through various brake components.

On the topic of rotors, does anyone know of any sites that sell the Brembo blanks for our cars?

AutoZone rotors are the best bang for the buck.


Anything else is a waste of money.

You might want to check out the Sponsors forum here or a couple Vendors on groupbuycenter.com have them. As of right now I think they only have Brembo rears for our cars. You might want to call to verify
