Recommended brakes/rotors
 

Anyone have any recommendations on rear brakes and rotors for my 05 RX-8 that aren't too costly?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

OEM - Factory rotors with Axis Ulltimate pads...if you don't mind cleaning break dust - they are hands down the best (in terms of stopping power) pads I've ever used.

^^ +1 on the RB. Quality rotors at a good price. Be sure to buy them through forum vendor for best service

+1000 on Racing Brake rotors.
I've had them on my car for some time and theyr'e awesome. Send a PM to Rishi at Auto RnD, he's a forum vendor and is who I got my brake hardware from. https://www.rx8club.com/auto-rnd-91/

For you Racing Brake fans, they just started advertising in SportsCar magazine (SCCA members get it)..... In the June 09' issue (pg 43) there is a discount code for 10% off Racing Brake products. SC0609, good until 7-31-09. :cool:

You're the man; that like $50 off a rotor set!

Talk to Brice at Fluid - he hooked me up with a dealio on some RacingBrake slotted fronts and Hawk Performance Ceramic pads.

Another option is Centric rotors from the parent company of StopTech:

The Centric rotors are great. They have an electo-super-duper coating on the centers so they don't rust and the overall quality and cut pattern is of higher quality than almost anything I have ever seen for $65 each rotor. Pair the with some Axxis Ultimates and some good brake fluid and you're good to go.

The Racing Brake kit and products are also awesome but I think they are a bit more expensive. Rishie is the man for those.

Sweet. Thanks for all of your input everyone. I appreciate it alot.

Racing Brake 2-piece rotors with Cobalt Friction Technologies pads.

I like the ones AMG RX7 pointed out. They seem to be very good for not a lotta cash. I personally would save my pennies for a set of 2 piece RB w/ the vented slot option.
