Has anyone tried these, or know of another aftermarket brake system?

I have read several times about needing to change the disc and pads because of warping the OEM disc. I am about to do my brakes, so I am curious what products have been tried and proven before I install some crap that I regret.

Are the R1 Concepts worth the money, do they work well, any issues? Forget about them and go with something else?

Mr. Manners, shoot me a PM with a quote.

Yes, they are good brakes, I put them on my dually and on the 3/4 ton. I got the Premium Drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads for just under $600 shipped. Once Willie gets you a quote, you may want to either have him call or you call using his affiliate ID for the purchase though. they have issues with their website hosting I think as it is always going down. I am calling them today to find out what the deal is with their site.

Now, as for customer service, I like it. When you call to ask questions they are extremely helpful with what you ask them about, not what they want to have you hear. They also have fast order processing and shipping to go along with it.

My recommendation? Anyone looking at upgrading their brakes should give Willie a shout and have him hook you up, it is WELL worth it and the brakes seem to be of outstanding quality!!!

Do you hear any squeal when they are new, I know some GM trucks have a squeal even with new brakes, I don't think it is pad wear squeal, just sounds like it.

that setup does look sweet


for what its worth though i upgraded to high performance hawk pads (the purple ones) and noticed a pretty significant difference.. just a heads up. would love the full setup though

Did you do anything with the disc?

Can anyone elaborate on the disc warping on these trucks?

same factory rotors,...i beat on mine pretty darn hard and i never had a problem with them warping.....doesn't mean it couldn't happen though

I haven't noticed anything, but figured what the heck, if I am going to do it, might as well do all of it.

Also, thanks for clearing it up, I was meaning rotors.
