    Shop R1 Concepts performance brake parts, brake pads, rotors, kits and more. R1 Concepts is the leading manufacturer of braking systems for all vehicles


    I have these, no nose dive and much better stopping power than stock.

    Have your calipers ever been changed? id do that was well or at least service them. R1 concepts have lifetime warranties, and amazing customer service.

      What do you mean buy weak? They don't have enough grab or they're soft? One's hydraulic and the other is mechanical.

            I got R1 concepts OEM rotors, Stand up pretty well to warping IMO, no slots or drilled holes.
            For pads I used Autozone's C-max pads, lifetime warranty and they do a damn good job of stopping my car.

            If you're looking for bigger brakes it's been confirmed that saab 9-5 brakes are larger and will fit, you just need to enlarge some holes in the knuckle.
            Next step would be brembos.

            I would recommend trying rotors and pads, replace any bad calipers and make sure they all move freely, and maybe flush the brake lines and get some new fluid in there.

              Not all rotors are created equal. I've had my R1 concepts E-line cross-drilled and slotted rotors since 09 without any issues.

                    cryogenic rotors. They are slotted and are amazing! I'm going to try the C-Max brake pads myself.

                      I have had my R1 e-lines drilled and slotted for like 6 months and they are fine, my rears have been shot for like 2 weeks so those rotors are taking a pretty good beating.

                          Have you checked to make sure your calipers are sticking? I ended up wrapping the shit out of a brand new set of OEM replacements, i then found out my calipers were sticking.

                          So id check there!
