I have them in my car but they where there from the previous owner, I couldn't tell you how the perform because the rotors look like they need to be changed they constantly make noise so i have not pushed my car aggressively. They sure look nice though

I've had them on my BMW for years with EBC Green Stuff pads. No issues, work well, look good.

I have had them on my FD with Hawk pads for about five years with no issues, good enough for my style of driving.

Exclamation

I have them too and I have a pulse but I'm 99% sure its from the rear rotors which need to be replaced.

One caution of advise to anyone doing rotors is remember the washer for the caliper bolts. When I was installing my powerslots I removed the bolts and The washers stuck to the hub so I didn't even realize there were any. Well in the process of changing the rotors I guess one of the washers fell off and rolled out of sight. After tightening every thing seemed fine until the test drive. While driving straight it was fine until I took my first turn and heard" SCRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHHHT" Immediately I knew something was wrong and headed back home to discover a HUGE gash on the backside of one of the brand new rotors. I determined the bolt was making contact and then proceeded to scour my driveway where I eventually found the washer.


It took a couple months of braking to smooth out the gouge on the rotor.

felt really stupid after that one

i bought my slotted rotors and pads from http://www.zeckhausen.com/Mazda/RX-7_Gen3.htm

I dont think the slotted vs regular discs make a difference in performance. I just got them because they look nice.

I have them on the front, from what I remember they didnt make rears so I went with racing brakes for the back. They have been working fine.
