I love my Hawk HPS pads...they have been on since the summer and they are worth it for the low brake dust alone. I also have the R1 cross drilled & slotted rotors...
Michael @ Acute is a great vendor...awesome customer service before, during & after the sale.

i think i will get the ate premium rotors since they dont leave any brake rust around and are top notch

I've helped R1 resolve that rust issue because they now coat the entire rotor surface. Like I said before, I've directly helped R1 make a better rotor.

Mike, I just received a set of R1 Premium drilled rotors directly from them and they were not entirely coated. I've written them referencing anoither of your threads about the coating. I'll see what they say. Thanks for taking our concerns to the manufactures.

Hi Mark,
They only coat the entire rotor for my orders. It's a deal that I've worked out with them because I've purchased so many sets.

^ Agreed with balbs. I would get them again. Michael hooked it up very fast. I have the HPS pads and Premium R1 D/S rotors. I have minimal brake dust and the stopping power is great.
