Slotted/Cross Drilled Rotors on an SE/Sport

I've been searching and it seems no one makes these for our four lug version of the RX-7. So I have a question. If I bought 4 honda civic rotors (both pair fronts) would this work for me? I could always just do a five lug conversion, but I am getting a helluva good deal on a set of 17" Enkei's. So I figure, why not upgrade the braking while I'm at it. They need to be changed within this month.

Any info would be appreciated?

I could always have a shop make me some, but I doubt I could get 4 polished, slotted, and cross-drilled rotors for $100 shipped.

the honda rotors, i believe, would need to be the same diameter and very close to the same width. there's a mm measurement/spec for a rotors thickness. this also affects the caliper's functions.
ya/na?? do you mean "ja/ne" (yes/no)?

okay, i dont wanna get stuck on pronunciations, but i also dont have any advice on the rotors aside from what i said -- find the dimensions and compare them.

about the pronunciation, though. i believe you were referring to "yay/nay," not "ja/ne." sorry, didnt register at first.

they said it was a no go, they also said putting fw offset rims on my car would be a bad idea, because the aluminum would break easily and/or I could throw a rim off the hub (allready did that with a tire the other night) so oh well....

You know the Sport was a five lug car, right?

Anyway, you'll find a large number of people (myself included) that prefer brembo blanks.
