If you can get r1 to match amazon prices on stoptech rotors i would go that route
Hmmm. I plan to abuse these rotors thats why I wanted the stoptechs. I wanted the Stoptech performance street pads too but with that added to the cost of the rotors its breaking the budget. I might just get the posi quiets and hope they won't fade under hard braking. I don't track or autox. Just need to stop from high speeds from spirited driving.

Well if you want to save a little money you can always go with r1 branded rotors in the rears as they should be fine there since technically most of the braking is done in the front anyways. Try talking to r1 and see if they can give you a deal for stoptechs in the front and r1 branded in the rear maybe?

That actually isn't a bad idea. I might get stoptech fronts and R1 premier rears, they look exactly the same.

Would it look odd since the stoptechs have the black center hub and the R1 concepts are silver?

Well in my case if i remember right i got the r1 premium rears and when they showed up they were black in the middle just like the stoptechs so not sure what you will end up with, but im guessing they will be black in the middle also
