thats a bit sly branding them like that.  If you speak to speedline imports they sell drilled and slotted discs for a good price, thats where i got mine and very impressed so far, they arent branded but do the job.

Brembo website lists slotted and drilled options, or rx store could be buying from a 3rd party who either slots or drills, or both.

I used to get slotted brembos from WGT - although Brembo supplied the discs, the slots were milled in by WGT - would imagine this is the same thing?

Yes they are listed but every time I have enquired they come up as N/A (not avaliable)

Bit like Black Diamond who have now stopped making FD discs, they have a catalog listing for the RX-8 for the last  3 years and yet do not make them and seem to show any interest in making them,

Just to clear this up. We get our rotors thru a third party which does the drilling and slotting on them. The Fronts are Brembo and the rears are an off brand as Brembo does not make a rear blank for the RX-7.
Most shops will by Brembo blanks then have them drilled or slotted by a different company.
