What's the difference between the premium rotors and the normal rotors on R1 concepts?

I picked up some EBC slotted and dimpled rotors with some red pads off amazon.com for a really good price. Shipping was free too. They work and look great.

I think the difference is the coating that they use for the rotors, I would give them a call to get a definite answer, they are very helpful...

Yeah it says the normal ones are coated in G3000 iron grade and the premium rotors are coated in G3500 iron grade. I'll give them a call but does anyone know what this means?

I know that the 5 spoke Fooses will not fit Big brake kit unless they have a 24mm or 25mm offset, I ran into this issue with the first set of wheels that I had, so the set before my new ones where a 25mm ofset they were the MRR GT5 wheels, my new set are Shelby Super Snake wheels with a 24mm offset. Make sure you do your homework before buying a big brake kit if you dont plan on buying new wheels, you can use spacers but personally I dont feel secure using them, some peopl will say they are safe and im sure they might be but I have in the past seen friends have problems with spacers like wheels falling off even after torqueing them, good luck

I picked up a set of the Baer's from CJ Pony Parts that you mention. They look great and don't rust. I know the whole argument against cross drilled, but I was going for look. I don't track the car.
