Cross Drilled Rotors
#26
Silkworm is right, for street use just go with the OEM stuff. I did a complete brake job on my vert. I have pics, I used all new slintered pads, new stock rotors, new calipers, s.s. brakelines, and Motul. It stops on a dime when at temperature.

Cheers,
Bling bling? Go with the slotted/crossdrilled, I think it looks great. It's not going to be a problem for a street car.
Cheap? Autozone/Boyz/Kragen stuff is fine.
Gotta stay Mazda? works' fine too.
Racing? See Cheap

Ted,
how low of a temperature is required for cryotreated rotors? under 0°C?
if it is... ican just stick it into my freezer and then put it into my fridge to control tempeature rise.
Or is this in terms of kelvin. like around 100K? i can get access to liquid nitrogen very easily through my phyiscs labratories. ****... we even have liquid helium, not sure if they would give some of that away though.

From what I understand, it's a very slow controlled process, bring the temperatures down, then back up.. I don't think it's something you can do easily.

Yep, it goes to close to absolute zero and slowly returned back to room temps.  I don't think your fridge can do that - if it can, damn, that's impressive!

For track, I suggest Hawk Blues myself.
For street, I actually use OEM pads. Hawk HP+ are nice too, but OEM is fine with me on the street. :shrug:

Damn, I used to work at an Autozone, and I know that their rotors are actually a good brand-name, just sold in Autozone's box.
BUT I can't remember whose brakes they were, it was a long time ago!!! Sorry for the unhelpful failure of my memory....

Preset,
I use Carbotech Panther Plus pads, but you don't want to use these, my car is a race car, and never sees the street.
As for a good street pad, sorry, I have no idea what works good for the RX-7 with low dust..

I only read part of the first page. I have the slotted/drilled rotors for the front. I like them but I have upgraded pads too. I know with the combo of pads and rotors I stop MUCH sooner.
