Well they are not chrome they are hyper silver, and I wanted gunmetal but they dont have them available in gunmetal. The gunmeatal pic I saw, and thought I was getting, was a prototype wheel..... Thanks for the complements....

Yep, got the full Racing Beat suspension sitting in my living room, drop coming soon :D
It is just the R1Concept Drilled/Slotted Rotors with painted calipers.

Looks great!
Fill us in on where we can order the rotors. What kind of difference does it make in your braking? Did you change the pads as well? Thanks.

I got mine off ebay, you just have to keep watching for them to pop up on there. They are real nice rotors and improved breaking. I didn't change out the pads because Mazda just replaced them like a week before under warranty. Only took a day for them to get reset. I would recommend replacing the pads if you have had them awhile though.

I did have the brake squeal, but the new pads Mazda put on there, before the new rotors, resolved that issue. The new rotors do not squeal with the replacement pads either.

I think they look good. They will look better when you have it dropped.
Question- I don't know too much about slotted/vented rotors. What happens when they need to be cut/resurfaced? Should they last longer than the stockers?
