I went on tbssowners.com and did some research and found out that the R1s rust a lot where the brake pad doesnt touch the rotor
Most people on there seem to think rotorpro is a better brand
I called R1 and they told me $370 for all four rotors
And I also called rotorpro and they told me $285 for all four
What do you guys think?

Roto pros. I hate rust in my rotors. I just replaced mine and they look like crap already.

if you paint the whole rotor first (its been done before and worked fine) and let the pads scrub the paint off they wont rust.. i do know a few with the rotor pros and he's happy with them

X2 on that. i hit mine with one coat of black paint. But ordered mine from brakepartswarehouse.com

powerslot/slotted. no need for the drilled. these bishes are to heavy, i can just see it cracking.
