QE Rotors?

Okay differences between high compression and low compression rotors. Which one is better which is worse? I just wanted to know which ones I should use in my new turbo 12a. Thanks

If you plan on running any significant amount of boost, use low compresion rotors.

the stock rotors can handle a good amount of boost, as long as youve got it tuned good

Ya I was planning on having high boost. I have another question...found this cheap N2 kit, I just assumed that low compression would be better. Would I be right in this assumption??

yea with high comp you get a little better low end but you cant get high psi levels with out issues,so if it was a daily street car id go high and keep the boost below 14 /max( theres a local with this) or forr a *** kicker do low comp and get a 3 bar boost sencer and go put the turbo to work

Ya I've been trying to find a 3 bar boost sensor, but for the likes of me I can't find one anywhere. Maybe I'm just dumb and pass it over.

Not wanting to steal the thread, but where can I find those dual-headlight kits as shown in the pic above? (or is that a custom job?)

Check out this link for the dual headlights
http://www.miata.net/garage/bsplow/

The kit is for miata's but will fit 1gens with little modification. They cost about $350.
