These are very good brakes. I only started using then correctly yesterday and the Rainbow Beach Cruise. Braking from 160-80kph, which was very painful due to my seat belt clawing into my shoulder. The stopping power is great. I ate steering wheel multiple times on that day. After 11 attempts at the braking test, I gave up on it. Still with no fade. Very happy with that.
If you look at the 3rd pic. The rotors are wider and have more ventilation area the the originals / factory fitted. They are also 2mm bigger in diameter - which leads me to believe te RDA have manufactured these using the MX5 rotors sizes. Have track day a Queensland Raceway on 17th of Feb... More details to come. Ryan p.s. Big cheers to GSL RallySport for hooking me up. I'll be back again. Last edited by project.r.racing; 29-01-2007 at 10:56 AM. |

The ONLY time i would suggest going cross drilled is for a 4wd regularly driven on the beach, or if you're chasing extra macca's cred points!

The 2001+ are bigger again, and yes you can fit them if you could take the caliper out a bit, which needs the v6 knuckles, and then you'd just end up using the 2001+ rotors, v6 calipers, 4 stud hubs... At the rear you need change to the MX5 caliper brackets to make the 276mm rears happen Nice looking setup though... A.
