well for every one citing what seals certain racers use. guess what seals the 787B runs? o wait mazda ones... and we can all agree, maybe, that the 787B's engine is possibly the most powerful AND reliable rotary to ever be made.
go mazda, dont waste your money any where else.

No thanks. Stock or Atkins for me. I won't do RA's anymore and I won't do other aftermarket ones again. Why, oh why, do we focus on the wrong stuff so much? There ain't no such thing as a "bulletproof" motor. Use the right fuel, fire the spark at the right time with the right spark plug for the job, and shazam -- "bulletproof motor".

lol BDC has a good point, the seals should not matter if you are not doing any thing wrong. and as long as you take the proper precautions nothing will go wrong. but if the **** does hit the fan that bad no seals are going to survive any way.

I have a set that I put in my motor over the winter. I won't comment too much yet but have heard from personal experience from highly reliable sources that these are unbreakable. They simply warp. They have been out for some time now, i'm surprised that no one else posted about these yet.

Same here; just do want to bring the "well the guys down there do it, so it must be the shiznit". IMHO, if I were to try to tune my car on my own (don't know jack **** about tunning), then I would go with one of the unbrakeable seals; as I would rather replace seals than rotors and housings.
For anything else, I agree with everybody; stock or ceramics!
