Exclamation Brake upgrade for 81 GSL

Hey guys, the brakes on my 81 GSL have begun to make grinding sounds upon heavy braking, time to upgrade or replace.

My options with the money I have are basically,

new oem rotors and projectMU pads from YahooJapanAuctions.

OR this KIT http://www.ebay.com/itm/FITS-MAZDA-RX7-w-Rear-Disc-81-82-83-BRAKE-ROTORS-PADS-F-R-/331667941817?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368

I'm kind of stuck in the decision process. I daily drive this car to work and back and spirited cruising on weekends and expect to track it once next spring hits, winter is coming here, fargo nd. What would some of you choose if you had these two options available for you, and had full seasons throughout the year? What do you run. my price range is like 200 dollars. Once I have made my decision I will order and repost pics of the installation and my review about the product I go with.

thanks, cheers.

Murray
