Good old R1 concepts

So I was laying around today I had to take the week of of work becuse of the flue and I get a package I was like YAY I opened it up and it was suppost to be

but I got
still nice looking but I paid for the premium onces and it is a big price deffrence so I looked at my emails I just fig they charged me for the other ones but nope I got billed for the prems but sent somthing elese so I keep calling and calling but no anwswer from them so I sent emails the boxs they cam in are destroyed to but the parts are good I just hate dealing with stuff like this

that sux. seems to be a big difference in the size of the space for the cooling veins. i don't know if it will matter on the street but thats nice for the track.

about 80 dollors diff for each pair thats pretty big diff they just called me to and there sending me the right pair they sent me two pairs of fronts to

I'm moving this to Vendor Reviews. Keep us updated.

Cool they got back to me after I called a bunch haha they seemed to admit fault right away witch not shure it's good or bad but they did resend the parts I got the ups email lastnight and sent me a ups stamps but really how hard is it to ship the right parts it's not like the parts they shipped was the same stock number they shipped me a totoly diff numbers but owww wel should get my brakes some time next week I hope.

what is the actual difference between the 2?

Well if you look at the pics the bottoms are the ones I got but I was suppost to get the ones on the top The ones are top are pouder coated black witch was good for me becuse I don't race but I plan on going to as many shows as I can this year.

I have the same rotors you were supposed to get. I dont know if its because I dont drive my car much, but they get rusty all the time.

really great mines a 07 with 20000 miles

I'm in the middle of an issue with R1 too.

Here's a brief portion of my PM history on this with them:

Steven-

Received my order, but it looks like there's a problem. I received what looks like the correct box of front rotors...slotted, but the box with the rear rotors has drilled and slotted rotors, and the caliper paint I received is yellow, not black. Is it possible two of my three boxes were switched with someone else's order? I can send you pictures if you need.

Dave,

I apologize about this. There must of been a mix up in the shipping because your order did say slotted only and black caliper paint. I will send you an UPS return call tag to your email address. Please print it out, box up the rear rotors and g2 caliper yellow paint. Put the label on top of the box and send it back with UPS, it is paid for. I will go ahead and ship another package out today for you. In addition, I will note your order for an extra 10% discount on any car besides the LX if you need any in the future for your inconvenience.

Please double check the rotors and pads you will be keeping, so I can resend the correct ones:

front slotted rotors: #120.63061 - should be about 13.5 inch diameter

front pad: #105.10580
rear pad: #10510570

That's cool, thanks for the quick response. If you can send a second label, I can ship the rear rotors and caliper paint back in their original boxes?

second return label sent, thanks.

Steven-

I might have answered my own question on the rotors I thought were right. The slotting pattern doesn't look the same as the product picture from your website, so I'm thinking I have incorrect ones.

Here's the website pic of the premium slotted rotors, followed by the ones I have. Attached pics of the pads too. Tell me what I should keep and what I should send back. If I should send back ALL the rotors, I need a third return shipping label:











The posi-quiet boxes packed with the rotors came pre-ripped up, by the way. Fine with me, just wanted you to know I didn't do that.

If they are 12.5, they must be the rears. I will send you the 13.5 fronts along with the black g2 paint.

Iguanaman wrote:

OK, but what I have doesn't look like the premium slotted rotors? Did the slotting pattern change from the website picture?

r1concepts wrote:

That picture is what we call, staggered slots or mini slots. What you got is the correct drilling pattern for slotted only.

Iguanaman wrote:

OK, thanks...let me know when you ship out the new rear rotors and paint...I'll need some help installing these so I'll need to plan for it.

Geesh..... glad they are making it right though.

Still waiting for my replacement rotors...been about 5 days

PM'ed Steven last night...email with shipping info showed up minutes later. Shipped last night, due to show up here on the 15th. MAAAAYBE they go in on Saturday the 17th? Have to find a place to do them up by me to have a shot.

Damn, caliper paint takes a whole day to dry? Tough to be out of commission with my DD that long.

Damn.. Sucks to hear.. I haven't heard much bad things from R1.. But at least he is making everything right pretty quickly..
