Confused. Rear brake rotors...
 
I'm changing the brake rotors on the FD.
Obviously, I'm going with slotted Brembo in front, but since Brembo, as you probably know, doesn't manufacture rear rotors for the FD, I'm wondering which rotors to go with.
Jason at RX7store told me he uses a generic one that is "identical".

Gotham uses "Bradi", an italian company they say makes the same superb quality.

Many online stores don't even bother mentionning that the rears aren't Brembo. They sell the front and rear as "Brembo".

Mazda stock rotors are even more expensive that online stores sell power slots or
other brands such as rx7store and gotham.

What are you guys using? Where did you get them? Are you satisfied?

Why does it matter? Just get whatever is a close visual match for your front rotors. The rear brakes only do about 15% of the braking duties, so it really doesn't matter who makes them.

It only matters because they charge the same price for rears than they do for the fronts which are Brembo.
Some retailers actually charge even MORE for the rears!
And since I'm a "detail freak" I was wondering which of these retailers sells the best match of front/rears. As you said, it's mostly about getting a good match.

If I'm gonna pay Brembo price, I at least want a good fit with the front Brembos :)

The font and rears I got from gotham (brembo and bradi) looked the same. After 5k miles of use they still look the same.
