Hi Guys...
Tried searching, but I guess my search prowess is a little outta whack atm cos I can't find squat.

Could someone please let me know what size rotors our stock 8s (2004) have?
I've found a few places online, but there's an option for w/ sports suspension or w/o sports suspension.

As far as I can see.. the w/ sports suspension is 320mm up front.

Also, are DBA 4000 series rotors any good? or is it worth the extra pennies with go with the 5000 series II, two piece.?

TIA.

 

AFAIK all Aussie RX8s came with the sports suspension and the w/out sports suspension applies to overseas models.

 

Front is 323, rear is 302

I will get something better than DBA .

 

Thanks Taka... what would you recommend for rotor and pads? Street use only..

Cheers,

 

street use then DBA is not bad. 400 is very nice, although I only have it on the back and it withstand the heat ok on the track.

I am very happy with project mu rotor and they are 328! Project Mu HC+ pads gives good initial bite and make you very happy in traffic but the down side is very noisy and very dusty.

Project Mu is still on special me thinks. If you want some I can give you the contact of our supplier

Other like Endless and Ferodo are good too. Endless have similar rotor and it is blue, Project mu is lime green and nothing I found is yellow

 

Why the change LJ?

Originals worn/warped or just playing with mods?

 

yeah.. my fronts have been giving me grief for quite some time. I had the first set replaced under warranty because of shuddering. I took a while to sort out, but when the dealer decided to change everything at the same time they got it working.. ie all pads and rotors.
But for the past 12 months, the shuddering has slowly crept back, but this time my baby is out of warranty. I've also notice the front rotors look a little worn, more than what I think is normal. So rather than buying the oem rotors again, thought i might go with something better.. and because it isn't from Mazda, I'll prolly same some $$ too..

 

DBA 4000 will give you significant saving....

They are the same as OEM if not better.

5000 is much better since it is 2 piece but so does the price. haha

Project Mu/Endless is highend stuff. Are you interested?

 

Hi Taka...
Interested? yes... but I don't think I'm able to part with enough $$ to go down the "high end" route..
Thanks for your input tho.
