R1 Concepts Carbon Geomet

Just had these R1 Concepts Carbon Geomet Rotors drilled and slotted with Optimum OEp Pads and so far they feel great!

Interesting...I didn't know you can have them custom drilled and slotted? What did that run you? Don't they offer sets already drilled/slotted?

They come blank you can have them slotted or drilled and I actually ordered the eLine series and because they were out of stock they upgraded me to these bad boys for free! They said it's about $700 for this package

My buddies did it for me while I was at work and they said everything was fairly straightforward the only tricky bit is the electric parking brake you can find out how to set it up on YouTube

yeah, that's pretty much the only thing that's holding me back from doing it myself if the electric parking brake.

Did they tell you when they would have the geomet series in again? I was actually looking today because I'll need to order a new set soon.

I purchased the carbon geomet series slotted rotors with the ceramic pads. Haven't installed them yet.

Good idea getting ceramic pads as they won't score those nice rotors as metallic pads so often do. In a every-day driving, ceramic pads perform equally well and spare one's rotors.

Finally installed these today. Pretty smooth process, just take your time doing it. Youtube helps, especially the rear electronic brake unit, since I didn't have the BMW software. Only problem was a stuck rear rotor but nothing a hammer & PB blaster couldn't handle.

Next step is to do a brake flush....

How have these held up? I am leaning towards the R1 Concepts E-Line for their drilled/slotted rotors. I know these are Geomet but they only have the OEM style available for these. Would prefer the drilled and slotted, even if I have to pay a bit more.

Would you re-buy these?

Well from Feb 2019 to now I really haven't driven the car much at all... I have less than 5k on this setup and I am definitely happy. I would say if you daily drive or do a lot of miles then just get brakes from FCPEuro and then your next set on the house

Just ordered my set today. It's my daily driver, but I work from home these days so she only goes out a few days a week for short trips. I don't put a ton of miles on mine, maybe 10k a year. We'll see how these hold up once I install them.

Should hold up well, I only do about 5k mi a year now so I can't really say much for longevity

Just ordered the same set up! Got a huge discount, was suppose to come to $675. Found a 25% off coupon code, got $169 off!!! Couldn’t pass on the deal. Can’t wait to receive and install this set up. Anyone looking for the coupon code, it’s FLASHSALE.

Nice! I traded my bimmer yesterday on a CLS 550 AMG Sportline, when it's time for brakes I'm going with R1 again!
