Best Source for Hawk hp plus Pads and OEM Rotors??

Like the title says, where is the best place to source these? I'm gonna do all four corners.

Also, do I have to disconnect the brake lines to R/R the rotors?

Thanks!

If you are just using them for the street, there is a package deal you can get here:

They aren't blank rotors, but they will work just fine for a street application.

Alright I'm getting the pads from Gotham and rotors from Tirerack.

The Rotors say "Front fitment". Are the rear rotors identical on an Rx7??

Thanks again.

IMO, I wouldn't use Hawk Pads for track events. As for rotors, when you start doing track days, they just become another wear item to frequently replace.

Yeah, I replace rotors all the time on my other car.

But my question now is, are the rears identical to the fronts?

N/m I think that they are NOT the same..

Tirerack has Brembo OE replacement but says to carry Fronts ONLY..
So I guess I still need to know where to get all 4 OEM rotors..

I would check ebay. I know lots of people are scared about buying stuff on there, but the is some genuine stuff for sale and you can sometimes get it at a steal.

Brembo doesn't make the rear rotors, that's why Tirerack doesn't have them. You can get blacks from Tripoint:
