If you crossdrill your rotors, You might lower the compression to an undesirable number. And why would you slot them? Extra apex seals?

Just kidding. Anyways, i think i saw some on ebay. I mean rotors are rotors, right? In your case though, i'd go with stock replacement rotors, and get HAWK HPS pads. Crossdrilled rotors have a tendency to crack. And slotted rotors? Pfft. Cross/slotted rotors are usually not used in racing either. They're useless. Most people upgrade to a larger diameter brake, or a bigger/more powerful caliper, and of course, the cheapest is NICER PADS!!!

A lot of parts sotres like NAPA, Advance, etc can get rotors for RX-7s. Tire Rack also has Brembo replacement rotors for the front for $53 each. That's a pretty good price.

Unless you're doing some serious tracking, you don't need a big brake kit. The stock brakes are darn good with OEM pads, and pretty killer with upgraded pads. I'm currently running Hawk HP+ and they stop the car awesome, but I'm taking them off because they squeal a bit too much and they dust a lot. I'll replace them with HPS.
