I'd probably pass on those specifically... look for some Powerslot slotted rotors or Stop Tech slotted. Either one will be decent.

But if they're just for street anyways, why bother? I've been autoxing on stock tC brakes for two years and I'm over 42k miles... still no issues. Someday I might get some slotted rotors, but there's really no point yet.

Well I'd still suggest slotted over drilled and slotted. With drilled, you run a little more risk (just a little though) of them cracking and causing problems.

IMO, this would be a nice setup:

Though I think I read that those specific pads included with the kit can be pretty dusty... not sure.

If it's just for looks, it seems like a waste to use stock diameter. Drilled, slotted, dimpled all look nice, but if you're in it for looks, plain larger diameter would look better than fancy cuts on stock size rotors. The tC's rotors just look so small, even with the stock wheels, so if you're going to spend the money, you might want to consider larger diameter.

I have r1concepts rotors on my RX7, and I know someone who has had them on his RX7 for awhile. They work well, and they are coated so they don't rust.

jay, you will love the brakes (im assuming you haven't installed them yet). they feel like stock for daily driving... but when you get into the pedal... you **** stops! haha. make sure you bleed the brakes good, because alot of air got into my lines when i did the install

yeah i already installed them and i bled them as best as i could, but i think i still have air in my backs so i have to re bleed the whole system again lol.. ohh well but honestly its most likely because i haven't bled out the system yet but my previous breaks seemed better lol..
