Again, I'm slowly digging through spec sheets trying to find something that is the same size as the RZ ones but cheaper and easier to get. Have you or anybody else dug through other car's rotors to find a fit?

I invested a good 3 hours online trying to find an alternative, I put the specs into a brake website and had the drawing sent to me, in the end I decided I didnt want to chance a set of custom rotors to see if it fit- I just went with the EASILY OBTAINED stock FD rotors.
The difference is 1 inch compared to RZ rotors
If you are set on the RZ rotors you will have to suck it up and buy them or take the chance of having a relocation kit that you cant find rotors for

I started to develop a new rear BBK for the FD with StopTech right now. It will eliminate the parking brake so technically it is an "off road" kit. I haven't seen many options for rear BBK's for our cars. The RZ brake is an okay option, but its still a sliding caliper and really expensive for what it is.
I know you said you have calipers on hand, but this is a kit designed specifically for the balance of the rx7.
The brembos off the EVO are notorious for completely ruining the brake bias. It has way wrong piston sizes for the car.

I just happen to have 5 lug spindles in my shed from an FC...
Let me get through the rear FD group buy and making the rear FD kit.
To be honest the ronin kit is pretty hard to compete against. I could probably fit a 332x32mm 2 piece rotor inside a 17 inch wheel (ronin is 320x28mm). The problem is when you start comparing cost. I could do the whole Ronin kit installed for less than $600.
I would need about 10 people to do an FC kit.
