Some of the GT-R Guys had issues with brakes cracking esp with the Rotora dimpled/drilled design (it also sacrifices the rotor's integrity). As far as overall braking performance goes, slotted rotors or solid is best.

I know everyone says porsche, ferrari, and all the high end cars have drilled rotors too, but they have marketing guys behind their cars/products too. Drilled rotors are a compromise between braking and looks. But for best performance, solid or slotted/ventilated is best.

I think for braking performance, for the occasional track use, Racing Brake, Wilwood do better. Depends on what you want out of the car.

It just would not trust rotora on my car, personally. FD, Miata or GT-R.

EDIT: Read where you said you did not have your suspension parts yet. I am an idiot, sorry.

I know slotted is better, Ive had project mus on my z before I sold it, but theres not to many quality BBK for the rx7. I wouldnt do endless because they dont offer titanium pistons and are to expensive, and PMU only offers a 2-piston rear which is 4k,lol. However, When I switch to the veilside kit, I had comtemplated selling these brakes and doing project mus, since they do have titanium pistons( help dissapate the heat faster). We will see though...-

Even though it is not my cup of tea i usually don't knock people for going the veilside furtune kit. *But* in this case you did such a great job with the burnout that it would be a pure shame to let that go to waste.

Honestly man I saw your blue ride and thought to myself damn... maybe I should had gone this route instead of what i did. And Bro and I just finished it!!!

thanks, it's not really a kit per say.

99 plateless front end, 99 lip, apexi side skirts, seibon CF hood (obviously painted), with pre-auto sleek lights. The pre-auto's needed a bunch of love in order to make them presentable but hey whatever.

P.S.
You also have the knights sports on there... dude NICE. *voice in the background* don't chaaange iiit, don't chaaange iiiit........ also don't forget to post pics after you lower that bad boy.
