Centric is good. I have them on several cars. I had Akebono on some cars too.

I believe they are even one of the suppliers to R1 as well.

I sell a ton of R1Concept rotors and Hawk HPS pads on this forum and so far everyone has been happy. If you want some more information let me know.

2 thumbs up on the R1Concepts Performance (cross drilled & slotted)rotors and Hawk HPS pads!

Minimal...and I mean minimal...brake dust off those Hawk pads!

Call R1 and they'll offer you a better deal than they offer online...I think it was something like $325 for fronts with pads, ~$260 for the rears with pads.

Don't forget to buy the Brake sensor wire....$25 for a set of 2 (1 front, 1 back).

I did the work in my garage...took just a little over 2 hours with lots of help/QC inspection from my 3 year old daughter!

Or you could buy from a supporting vendor on the forum like myself...

BTW, my R1Concept pricing is better than purchasing directly from them.

We are an authorized dealer for StopTech/Centric.

Remember, Centric is the supplier for StopTech, so their products are proven to perform.

Akebono Euro pads are good for OE-like performance with virtually zero brake dust...but if you want better performing pads, go with the StopTech Street performance.

Feel free to PM me if you'd like pricing
