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.
