I don't think so. Cuz when i switched then, i thought i had the regular suspension. Until i clarified with dealer and auto zone gave me some bigger rotors and my pads are wearing down normal now. Or are we talking about pads? Lol

the same rear brake pad shape with more thickness is available for other vehicles, but they shouldn't really fit on the RX8. Found this out the hard way when I was sent a set by mistake and couldn't figure out why the piston wouldn't go in any further to let them fit over the rotor width.

Is it wearing down on the outside of the pads? Is there like a little lip on it? Cuz from the pic, isee the rotor a bit small if it's the sports package. I ran into the same problem when i got mine, i changed the pads and it was uneven wear, turned out the previous owner didn't want to spend a few extra bucks to get the right rotor. Might check that out as well.

I found the pics of how different the two rotors are. The bottom one is the correct rotor for my car. The top one is the wrong one. Do your rotors look like the top one?

The front brakes are a different size, not the rear

If your rear rotors were wrong it's because they were for a different car

Hello
Today I had my car's brake pads and disks replaced. All are EBC brand. Having driven for about 100km, it looks like that:
I noticed the wear didn't occupy the whole braking surface of the disk. It looks, about 20% area to the inner side didn't wear. Is that normal?
Here's a better resolution picture:
