I don't see anything listed on the site for RX8's.

 

Hmm. I plan on doing the same upgrade.

Looks good....now just replace or paint the calipers and your done

 

i called them for the part number....

because our mods are not keeping it real?

 

Should work now, I changed my email address and didn't realize I had to reauthenticate my account. I couldn't post or anything and couldn't figure out why until I checked my email. My slots are straight not curved. Do you guys think I need to have the sides switched? I was telling Swoope that when I went to have them installed the guys there asked which was left and right because it wasn't marked. I didn't know and they said to call who I got them from so I called up rx8store and they told me that the slots need to slot towards the rear so that's why I assumed they were on right. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks

 

Nice brakes!

I personaly went with Racing Brake...Just ordered the Front 2pc cross drilled and slotted rotors.

Quality wise, how is the kit from rx8store? $560 for rotors, pads and lines seems like a good deal.

ha ha good one team!
Wish I could find an autozone that gives a lifetime warrenty!
They do look good though.

I'm considering RP brakes too. Maybe AP. Waiting for some test data.

 

Big question that hasn't been asked....Do these rust up in rain like oem rotors???
I bought a pair of drill slotted rotors for an impala i had, claimed to be sprayed with something or other for no rust...but in the end they became rusty when raining just like the Rx8 rotors do....I know they sell a bunch of cheapy drill slotted rotors on ebay just wondering if we have had a rating system on all of the different sets on Rx8 club? kinda like a user rating (consumer's digest)

 

All iron rotors rust around moisture.

 

Ok....so are there any non iron rotors?...i recall someone telling me they were selling their oem rotors to get some that dont rust? what the hell was this guy talking about

 

You can buy some alloy rotors that look nice and don't rust. But they are not as good at stopping than iron rotors and you have to use their "recommended" brake pads.

Or you can buy some carbon rotors and have a kit custom made for your rx8. But thats probably going to me upwards of 4K.

Generally.

Braking Performance = noise, dust, and rust. (and sometimes sparks )

Looks = looks that just sit there.

 

But likely he was talking about replacing the rotors because the inner metal hat was rusting.

Most people just pull them off and paint them and its good. I think models now come with this part coated silver so they won't rust.

 

points well taken...thanks staticlag
