I've never had a set. But it's their specialty so hopefully I can only assume they've done 1 or 2. Were not talking race spec but it'll definitely look clean and cool down a little. LoL

I'm almost positive they will ship. I found them on EBay years ago but never bought anything... Now that my brakes are shot in this FC but apparently theyre running low in the world or something, Idk a lot of places didn't have rotors in stock. Sssssoo.....

I'm lookin at their website (Mazda | Design Rotor Technology) and I don't see Rx7 listed anywhere. Gotta call and ask specifically, huh? I'm surprised it's not listed directly on their website...

Ya I checked the site also. There wasn't anything listed, so I called. Make sure theres a 978 number up top and it's the right place.

He said they would have to order them but in our case. It seems like their gonna be special order eeeeverywhere

Well i found some non slotted or drilled solid rears on ebay but damn is it hard to find solids period! I think I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and buy the vented rear callipers and make my life easier! The vented rears are EVERYWHERE! LOL I've always been a bit sketched out at home made drilled /slotted/notched rotors. Had some friends with bad experiences in the past but maybe not everyone sucks at it!

Try summitracing or tirerack. They have Stoptech slotted rotors.

Drilled rotors are a waste... I had cracks on all 4 of mine (drilled and slotted). 2 had REALLY big cracks, the others weren't so bad. I NEVER drive in the rain, either. Now running Power Slots (now known as stoptech) - only slotted.

Power Slot doesn't have slotted rotors listed on their site for the FC. A link to some would be great.

And again, just for future reference, Power Slot is now Stoptech. Centric bought them.

And Racing Beat sells them too - though they're probably more expensive there.
