Hey guys, I have a 2017 RC 350 f sport RWD and I need brakes. I'm at 67k. Has anyone used one piece rotors in the front instead of 2 piece? How did it work out?
I'm currently running R1 Concepts slotted and drilled single piece rotors and ceramic pads for the fronts on my '16 RC F-sport and now have 35K miles on them. The first 8K miles squealed like crazy, despite bedding them according to instructions, but from there on, they've been quiet- go figure. Because I don't track my car and soley use my car to get to work and back on these L.A. freeways, I can care less of the advantages of having 2 piece rotors.

I appreciate your response! I'll look into R1 Concepts. Where's the best place to get them? I'd love a vendor referral if you have one. I don't track my car, either, but I do lots of hard braking because of crappy drivers.
My 2015 AWD F-Sport has 80K on it now. Had the front pads done at 40K and still running the OEM stuff all around.
No noise , no shudder, just well performing brakes with her being almost 9 years of use. I'll stick with the OEM stuff
myself. Mine's a daily driver as well.
I'm in for more info on this setup as well. How are the ceramic pads as far as brake dust? Let us know a good and reliable source for these.
Regardless what brand of ceramic pads you go with, you will get alot less brake dust (like night and day) compared to the OEM semi-metalics. With the ceramic pads, I noticed like 75% less brake dust on my wheels. Today, pricing for the R1-Concepts brand are all over the map compared to 3 years ago when I purchased my set (2 front rotors w/ ceramic pads) for $165 on eBay so good luck with that. Because ymmv, I'm not recommending the R1-Concepts brand to anyone. I was just stating my experience with them that may help you guys make an informed decision.
