R1 Concepts calipers.
Just wondering if anyone has used calipers from R1 concepts.
I need to replace the fronts on my 92. I've seen Centric and Raybestos all over this forum but no clear favorite. Thanks

Re: R1 Concepts calipers.
I have done R1 rotors, pads, and even stainless steel lines but never calipers I did not even know they sold calipers.

I was looking at this also last year - I replaced the rest of the brakes with R1 stuff.

Can't speak for R1 but I've got Centric reman callipers. I painted them with calliper paint before install and 2 years on they are rusted beyond belief.

Re: R1 Concepts calipers.
I also bought the centric brand calipers. I put on about 6 coats of paint (prime and high heat resistant). It has been only about a few months but they still look good. I did buy the rotors and brakes from R1 concepts. I left the rotors exposed for one day and they rusted. As you can see, I painted the center part of the rotors. It seems they all rust eventually.
