FL Mazdatrix's Brake Tech rotors

Has anyone had enough experience with these brake rotors to tell me if they are good or not? Also, i got a problem with the rear rotors, maybe someone could tell me why the stock pad doesn't cover the section of the rotor entirely, could this cause a problem in the future as the brake wears down>? thanks.

MazdaTrix is reliable.
No brake outperformes the stock one per several tests. This is verified by SpeedSource Racing.

You will get one that feels better and fades less at the race track.

SpeedSource Racing won the 34hr Lemans in a RX8 This year.

I thought Speedsource ran Alcon calipers and rotors?

But yes many teams run the factory rotors and calipers on the track with great results.

Okay, I have this inquiry though. The rear rotors have this small portion that isn't being burned off with the brake pad. I want to know if this will cause a problem in the future. From the looks of it it seems that it will get to a point that the pad will not close properly to brake. Once again, if you've had these brakes before, or if you just know. Will this be a problem in the future? I'll post pictures to show exactly what i mean later today.

It's like that on all of our cars. Don't know why. Don't worry about it.

If you want a real brake upgrade go with racingbrakes 2 piece factory replacements. They are a lot lighter, add some light weight wheels and bam, better braking

I didn't realize that this was in the series 2 section.

I don't think Brake tech would make a kit for the RX8.

Sales are too slow.
