Where do i buy Type RZ brakes?

Hi,

New member and owner to my first ever Mazda.
It feels like I've been looking everywhere for the right brake rotors for my Type RZ. During heavy breaking i get a vibration in the car, will try to figure out if its the rear or the front rotors that are warped.

I measured the front rotors to be 314x34 mm and the rear ones to be 314x20 mm.

Doesn't seem like any retailers in Sweden sell these rotors, which might force me to look overseas.
Does anyone know of places that sell these rotors? Preferably in the UK or Europe, since i don't have to pay to get them through customs. But any advice is appreciated!

Thanks a lot!

Yahoo Japan. I paid £500 landed to the UK for heat treated Dixcel 314mm replacements for my Type RS. £200 of that was the shipping.

Plenty of options available. Nowhere in Europe or the UK stocked them when I searched. Mazda UK would bring in standard items from Japan at a cost of £1200 for a set of four...

????! - ???? - ?fd3s 17??????

Click the link at the top on the left "Overseas Customers" and it takes you to a shipping broker who'll buy on your behalf then ship on to you

Search Results for "fd3s 17" /?Buyee? "Buyee" Japan Shopping Service | Buy from Yahoo! Buy from Japan!

You can also use Rinkya as I did - when Rinkya ship you rarely end up being charged customs duty I wasn't for mine.

Make an account with www.amayama.com

Part number for the front RS/RZ brake rotors: F124-33-25XA
Part number for the rear RS/RZ brake rotors: F124-26-25XA

Select the quantity you need, add to cart, create order inquiry and submit it. Wait a few days and they will send you an offer with shipping included. This might be your cheapest option. Amayama is cheaper than RHDJapan for OEM parts, both in item price and shipping.

Thanks a lot guys!
Would i benefit from the heat treated Dixcel discs over stock ones? Im mainly using my car on the streets, but an occasional track day might present itself next year.

"YJ is good for aftermarket." Sorry, do you mean Buyee?

The Mazda Motorsports team won the 12 hour race at Eastern creek in 1995 using Mazda brake rotors and Endless pads. If they can win a 12 hour race on OEM rotors, you can be assured that they will be more than enough in your case.

http://www.rx7.net.nz/sp1.htm

"Mazda's other trump card was its brake pad consumption. Normally the forte of the smaller and lighter cars, the Mazda SP's larger diameter and thickness rotor and larger four-spot front calipers miraculously made it through the 12 hours of punishment on one single set of Endless brake pads. According to Horsley, at the end of the race the pads were removed and "still had 'enough' meat on them"."
