when you replace your rotors. you should go ahead and replace the pads. that way you wont risk messing up your new rotors with old pads.

The racing brake open slot is a great rotor. For the best price contact Rishie with auto RND see thread https://www.rx8club.com/auto-rnd-91/racing-brake-specials-132328/ it was a Xmas special so the price will be a little higher but he can still give you the best deal.

Usually they crack under hard use.

So if you just plan on getting them for looks then they will be fine.

Otherwise get rotors from a reputable brand.

The link I provided is to buy 1 piece replacement rotors, as a higher performance alternative you can also buy 2 piece aluminum hat rotors.
