Brakes Question....Rotor Sizing
Im ordering my brakes, and My 8 is the GT so does that have the sport suspension? Cause its asking me to choose standard or sport suspension. The sport rotor size shows 12.something" diameter and the regular 11.7" i think. Can anyone help me out?

All Canadian RX-8s have sport suspension.
If yours is a US import, then all manuals are sport suspension, many autos are as well but some have the non-sport. Don't know the distinction between those well enough to guide you if that's the case.

i have front and rear ebc 3GD rotors and the green stuff pads (front and rear).
they do dust a lot but theyre awesome brakes, i got them at jrp when they had their summer midnight sale. i think everything came up to somewhere around $500, definitely a good buy

They arent drilled, they are slotted and dimpled. I dont track the car, and I heard the same thing as you said that the drilled ones crack after time

Your going to hate Red's for the street. They squeel and dont work very well until they heat up.
I sold my buddy a set for his RX-7, daily drove on them for a week and went back to stock pads haha.
I sold ALOT of greens to RX-8 guys back in the day.

Ya i heard they squeel for the first 5mins while they heat up but then they are quiet. I hear good about the green but I hear you get a lot of brake dust and I dont want that.
