Where are you buying brake rotors from? (US)
I'm not finding any sources other than Mazda for solid rotors. I'm not interested in slotted or drilled. I believe solids are not only more durable, but do a much better job dissipating heat away from the fluid and pads. Not to mention they are typically much cheaper. I've searched RB, RP, Pettit, Autozone, AdvanceAuto, AutoBarn, AutoAnything...many more.

Hm. I thought they sold some solid rotors as well. After looking them up though they only had slotted or drilled.
check Frozenrotors.com They have some solid rotors.

Brembo makes a nice OE-replacement rotor that is usually decently priced, you can get them through most any parts store
or run a couple of competition events (local autox, etc.) and join Mazda Motorsports, then you can buy OE parts near wholesale through them
EDIT: may be mistaken, not sure Brembo has an OE replacement for the RX-8
TireRack has closeout pricing on some cryo-treated solid rotors, $105 ea front and $95 ea. rear

those Centric rotors at Zeckhausen are priced right though ...

Stock part replacements
rockauto.com? I've bought stock replacement parts from them and had good service. Prices seem as cheap as anywhere. Looks like they have Centric & Raybestos brand rotors for our cars.

Yup. As I stated in my followup post I was mistaken. Frozenrotors.com has them though.
