What is the going rate for the big rotors kits from Mazda all the way around?

you cant go wrong with slotted or drilled rotors. i use power stop rotors and hawk hp+ pads all around on my car......you cant go wrong with them....
That is a true statement if you don't ever track the car. If you go track driving in the car, you can definately "go wrong" with drilled rotors!

So baicly what I gatherd from the literature is unless you do much autoxing, you dont need bigger brekes
Doubt you'd need them for autocross, courses are too short. Really only needed for track driving...



Go with a set of stock blanks, or a set of drilled/slotted if you like the looks of them, for street driving you will not notice any difference.

Well, if you want MY opinion on things - Slotted and Drilled rotors are a waste of time.. unless you're like me and love to do mountain cruising.. and have warped the stockers.



Then, slotted/drilled will work to your advantage (they have for me).



If you're worried about the price, I contacted Silver Nintey Three on this forum - Ihor - and he hooked me up with a set of cadmium plated cross-drilled and slotted Brembo/Bradi rotor set for less than the cost of replacement stockers from CarParts.com. The rotors are nice and the cad plating keeps the hubs and vents from rusting. They're still nice and shiney!

Combine those with a set of Hawk HPS from RX7Trix.com, and you have a fast-stop combination! Just be sure to warm the brakes up before you push the car - when the rotors are cold, the stopping time is higher than stock.
