As far as I've read, the regular semi-metallics will work the best as far as performance and wear on the R1 rotors. Ceramics/organics will work like crap and/or destroy the rotors.

haha i think this is what happened to me. had R1 rotors and just lost the fronts with only 27,000 miles on them. I think the rears are going to need to be replaced soon.

I dont have R1 rotors but i have SR performance rotors from ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Brake...3286.m14.l1318 probably not much different than R1, i have run 2 sets of kevlar pads on these rotors and the rotors show less than average wear. after being on the car for over 3 yrs,
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Apex-...3286.m20.l1116 .
actually let me rephrase my statement, the first set of pads i ran were carbon metallic, they lasted aprox 10 months, then i got these kevlars. |

When you order the R1, you have the option to add some pads with the kit for a little supplement (when ordering on their site). Ive ordered semi-metallic kevlar pads with my set and they work great! No sound, no brake dust, I love it.
