Hey guys, need your input before i have this brake set ordered.
On ebay I was able to find the R1Concepts drilled zinc plated discs + premium ceramic pads for $175 shipped (shipping from US to Canada), whereas I can get a set of gold-cadmium (or something like that) plated drilled discs + ceramic pads made in Canada by some company called Silverstone which are $100 shipped

I have been able to find a lot of good reviews on R1 and no bad ones
Could not find any confirmed actual good reviews on silverstone, some ppl saying they're bad but nothing really concrete.

My current brakes were basically the cheapest I could find anywhere and as expected, the discs got eaten up without much abuse at all and it is now scary to brake at over 70-80kph.

i dont mind spending a bit more for a sure bet, and at 175 i think its a pretty damn reasonable price if the quality is good with R1. however, $100 is a steal of the silverstone are also good. stay away just based on you get what you pay for, or .. .does anyone have any actual first hand experience with silverstone?
