Has anyone used these? (They have this listed: "RX7 Coupe 2.6T  92->96" would that be the FD?)

They look pretty cool, and different so wouldnt mind havin \'em, tho they are a little pricey...

I\'ve never used them but I\'ve heard of them before.

To be honest I cant image there would be any benefit in using them, and personally I think they look a little bit chavvy.

Just my opinion though.

less surface braking area how are they going to perform better than standard disks let alone be better

Sorry I was a little deep in my mind, I\'m on about the shape, if these were even remotely feasible and actually better than the standard discs, F1 cars would be using them :)

In short, they are just a ugly waste of time :)

Cheers for those opinions lads.
TBH after painting my calipers, and wacking a different set of wheels on there I\'ve been tempted to get a big brake kit, as it looks a little empty between the spokes.
If these were cheaper I wouldn\'t hesitate buying them, but for the price if there\'s no actual improvement in performance...
Don\'t get me wrong I usually prefer looks over performance, but I prefere a mint set of brakes ;)
