Those look seriously good bits of kit.  Much higher spec than similarly priced OEM gear.  Check out the racing break site... FD front 2 piece floating disks for stock callipers com out at about £370 including shipping!

http://www.racingbrake.com/RX7_s/3213.htm

Also a forum with info on the rear break upgrade (calliper moving bracket and bigger disks...

We have front and matching rear caliprs on our site, with handbrake. You would need to make bells and brackets. Then would recommend using Performance Friction (which are working to get up soon) floating disc for a great set up.

or we have the Dragon (KAD) set up

Just been in contact with our Marketing director in the USA regarding these......basically one of our dealers out there had a customer whos Racing Brake discs exploded out on track while he was doing some super hot fast laps, and directed our marketing director to the thread on evo net in the USA where the Racing Brake guy had compared his product to ours......

http://forums.evolutionm.net/showthread.php?t=160881&page=4&pp=15

What you will see is the comments on page 4 made by our marketing director, where he has quoted the racing brake guy.....if you skip back to page 3 and look at the original comments made the racing brake guy has retracted them by editing them:chat

Do you know if the disc explosion was a 1 off or are there more reports of the same happening? thinking about it i have seen quite a few F1 cars discs fail, and I would think thier quality is reasonable;)

Very very interesting Dan.

I\'d guess the failure was just one of those things (I\'m sure perf friction have had similar happen) but the comments from the RB guy seem pretty unprofessional.  Qudos you your US chap for a dignified reply!

What im delighted/proud to say to people who maybe do not know of us very well, is that we have never had a direct drive disc "explode" on any vehicle track or street:cheers

Im not implying that all Racing Brakes expolde either (nor can i give a reason why said rotor did break....could have been one of many), just mearly stating what happened on why/how our marketing director got involved with that thread.

Dan, any idea when you guys will do an FD fitment and how do you compare piecewise with RB generally?

The FD application is in my sales forecast, so as and when we get to it is all i can say at this current moment in time.....(if i was the MD, then it would be the first to be made let me tell you!)

The products are entirely different to Racing Brakes in that ours is a race proven product that is filtered down to the road using the exact same technology,so this reflects in our price as we are a high end product.
Our Mitsubishi EVO 2 piece applications retails at £243.50 per disc.

As for F1 discs failing.....thats why two teams have been in liaison with us over the last year now to develop something new for them to use ;)
