Default R1 Concepts Rotors

Aloha Corvette Family,

I was talking to a buddy of mine the other day who currently has a Gen IV CTSV. He was changing his rotors and pads out for set of R1 Carbon GEOMET rotors along with their optimum pads. I decided to look because my rotors look like crap, and I would like to swap them out. Just curious if anyone is running any of these types of rotors on their Vette. They look pretty sweet, and the price doesn't seem too shabby. I attached a link for the website that shows rotors for Z51 optioned Stringray.

Looks like simple one piece rotors and likely low temp pads. It'd likely be OK for street use, but I'd definitely not use them for any performance driving/event.
