I was wondering the same thing when shopping for rotors earlier today. Thanks for confirming!

I got a set of slotted, anti-rust dipped rotors from 88rotors.com, house brand for around $250 shipped. Was recommended to me by a friend. Going to run those with some Hawk Performance Ceramic Pads I picked up last week.

Base modle AT's come with stock suspension and 16" wheels. But if the AT has 18" wheels it will have sport suspension like all the MT RX-8's exp the 5 speed ones with stock suspension and 16" wheels.

Agreed,

And contact rashie with Auto RND for the best prices.

IMHO the 2-piece open slot is the best stock replacement. They cost more but they save weight and will never crack or warp.
