I have the R1 Concepts ceramic version on my R53. They create a bit more dust on the wheels than I expected (the ceramics on my Jag create none) but the brakes work fine. I will say that the rear rotors appear to be thinner than stock and I'm having issues getting the e-brake, even after adjustment, to lock down.

I am looking at the R1 Carbon GEOMET® Series Brake Rotors with R1 Concepts OPTIMUM OEp brake pads

They are reputable in the industry and are pretty well known supplier down here where they are in Southern California.

Used them on my Chevy Avalanche, and Audi S4, never had any issues. Would definitely buy from them again.
