I've always preferred the slotted over the crossdrilled, guess I have a reason now LOL

do y'all feel a difference with the rotors? i felt a small one with my last ride. just wondering if it was maye just in my head or if they really make a lot of difference stopping.

I don't know on the RX-7, I haven't went that route yet (too poor), but we put the powerslots on my dad's truck and it was like driving a whole new rig, his brakes sucked before.

As far as I know (being the second owner of the car and buying it with 50K miles on it) these were the factory rotors on the car.

I have always contended the stock brakes on an FC, when maintained correctly, are amazing. I have never had an issue with my brakes. I just decided to swap out my Rotors for some new ones as a precautionary measure. I dicovered after the fact that the old rotors were cracked. I was planning on hanging on to them as back ups.

I agree, if you buy cross drilled rotors you are asking for trouble. And if you say yeah?! but they use them on race cars! Good for race teams they can afford to replace them after every race. I dont have that kind of budget so I will go with these slotted rotors and wtch them closely. I still like the OEM rotors. But I'll give these a shot.
BTW- Phins I forgot you carried them. I just called Tire rack in a panic.

I have the HP Plus and my OEM replacement rotors aren't cracked yet. I only have a few autocrosses on these pads though... a road course I'd think would really test the rotors more than a one minute autocross run.

Word, my cross drilled that came on the car were cracked, and had some bad waves in the face because of the drilling. I will never buy cross drilled again, well actually I will never BUY cross drilled because I guess I never did in the first place:)
Right now I run Powerslot Rotors up front with Hawk HPS+ and they work great, although I am not the road course driver you are:) They love to squeak at MEDIUM temps but are okay when cold and hot:)
