I got my R1 concepts from Trinity. My front rotors aren't just rusty, but they're are fucking warped. I have vibration at high speed with them and stopping power isn't really as good as it was with OEM. I've only had them a year. :getlost:

Hey,

I just spoke with R1 and we're going to send you a new pair of front premium d/s rotors and completely black them out just like the rears.

Hope that's okay with you.

Hi Len,

I just responded to the email you sent me. R1 will be sending you out a new set with the fronts completed blacked out like the rears. Thanks everyone for your feedback. I have brought this rusting issue up with R1 and from now on, all premium sets will be coated completely with black high temperature coating to prevent rusting.

When the brake pads make contact with the rotors it will remove the high temp paint on the surface but remain in the slots and holes to prevent future rusting.

I know R1 hasn't been perfect -- no one is -- but it's the fact they are willing to stand by their products and make changes like these that I keep supporting them. I don't know many companies that are willing to do that these days.

Glad to hear R1 concept adjusted the way they paint their rotors to combat against the rust issue. Will the new look of the rotors look much different than the previous? Anyway you can post a picture showing what the new updated ones will look like once you get them in.

if they are under warranty, why not get them replaced?

I've talked to Joe @ Trinity about this months ago, but I never got any indication that I could actually have them replaced under any warranty. That would be fantastic.
