i wouldnt recommened using rx8 rotors.
i mean, yeh they are light weight en all but the only downfall to that is, the rotors arnt as durable as our rotors.
rx8 rotors will crack in time.

I dont know about them cracking but they require machining to fit our depth of apex seals. They are also 10:1 compression which is not ideal for a supercharged motor. you also need to use rx8 sideseals, which have excessive clearence unless you order the uncut ones from mazdacomp.

An independent company, I think Racing Beat(?), put them in a 13B N/A and didn't notice any difference in performance. They're made for the new exhaust port location on the Renesis so they need some work to go in a 13B.
Go with the 13BT rotors. You don't need high compression to make power. You have fun alternative means to do so.
