    I would not get drilled though, I've had disks crack from hole to hole before, and it's not fixable.

    If anything, slotted is probably your best bet.

    I have EBC rotors that are dimpled and slotted on my wife's vehicle. Zero complaints. Haven't tried R1 though.

    Powerstop is another option. I'm running the front drilled & slotted and about to throw on the rears. I love them so far and notice a huge difference with just the fronts. They are also about half the cost on Prime compared to the R1s

    I didn't. The oem pads are actually pretty decent. I have ceramic pads though for when its time. I'll probably remove the rotors and clean them too when that time comes

    did you notice improvement by just swapping rotors ? with the big tires I feel it doesn't brake as good than when it had oem wheels.

    Yeah I noticed a big difference mostly when really getting on the brakes. Before I felt like I would put my entire weight on the brake and it would just crawl to a stop, I'm sure the 35s didn't help lol. Now it stops on a dime

    S/S lines, some new fluid, and ceramic pads would get you to stop on a hair.

    I've had ebc and powerslot on other vehicles with no issues and solid performance improvement when paired with the right pads.
