Rear brake rotors = $160 EACH?
WTF? Dealer wants $160 per rotor for the rears. Best deal I found was autozone for $85 each. Anyone got a better price?
Front brembo replacements from the rack were $60 each. BTW, any problem going with brembo up front and duralast in the rear? stock repacements are pretty much the same right?

First off, the local dealer will rape you on price - get your parts from Malloy. But, the OEM rotors are still rather pricey.
Aftermarket rotors should be fine on a street driven car, especially on the back. I do prefer sticking with "regular" rotors and not cross drilled/slotted rotors. Big reason is you can't turn slotted or cross drilled rotors as they wear.
Brakewarehouse.com has some pretty good prices on rotors as well - might wanna check them out too.

Ray's got em for $127. Said he had plated drilled/slotted for less that he uses. Didn't think the OEMs were any better than other brands. "Thats one of those parts thats just too much." No kidding.
Brakewarehouse did have "valuemaxx" rotors for $60 but I don't like something with the word "value" in it being responsible for stopping the car. No warranty info on them either. $85 duralast with a 2yr warranty from the zone it is.
Random question: my rear outside pad was worn on an angle -symtom of...???

I got my 5 year old rear cross drilled brembos turned a couple of months ago. ($7ea)
My only complaint was that they didn't countersink the holes after they resurfaced the rotors. So I had to do it myself at home.

I can get you Brembo rotors front & rear replacement rotors (yes, rears are Bradi, since Brembo doesn't make rotors for the rear in stock size) for less than any RX7 vendor, and with no additional cost for being drilled, slotted, both, and/or zinc plated PM me if you're interested.

Nopi claims to have rear Brembo rotors for 49.35 each. I did get fronts and they were Brembo for 40.99 each. They also have a good price on NGK ignition wire set for 21.37 and spark plugs BUR9EQP and BUR7EQP for 6.81 each. NGK/NTK OE Oxygen Sensor 34.26.
That is about all I get from NOPI, but it has always been as advertised.
