R1 Concept BBK vs Stoptechs?
 
I wanted to know if anyone had experience with the r1 concept bbks / rotors.

I've seen quite a bit of reviews on the stoptech but nothing really with the r1. Can anyone shine their bright light on me?

R1 BBK's are for "show"

I am referring to the rotors only.
It depends on what you are doing with your car.
If it is only for street use it makes no difference what sort of rotors you get (within reason).
If you are using your car on track you do not want drilled rotors. Cracking will always start from a hole. I am not suggesting blanks or slotted don't crack. They will with extended abuse but drilled will crack sooner.

Our R1 BBK isn't just for show but also made for track use as well. One of our reps here does have an FR-S and has used our R1 BBK on his car for track use. Performance wise we are 100% in line with Stoptech/TRD BBK. Not only that, all of our kits are made to order. Depending on what you need it for race or everyday driving, you can customize it any way you want. From standard aluminum pistons to stainless steel, knockback springs, fixed to floating rotors, different brake pad formulas to even custom colors of paint or anodized. Plus for most cars we have a patented hand brake device that would work for most cars that Stoptech would not have. Attached below are a few pics taken at the track and for show use as well:
