I want to replace the pads and rotors so that I have all new stuff. I was thinkin napa, but does anyone get decent discounts or know of a good place to buy online?
Im gonna check tomo, but i think napa would be relatively cheap for good parts anyway…
thanks

Just don’t buy cheep parts. For example, I bought 4 rotors for my car for around $100 from a local parts place… less than 3k miles and they are warped to shit. :tdown:

My $.02 - I jost got hawk HPS pads for my GTP, and with new OEM rotors, theyre absolutly amazing. Id suggest you do the same, seems to be a great combo. Go to carquest and get their premium rotors, ive never had a problem with them…

yea, i know thats why i was thinkin napa first ;). I don’t wanty to buy OEM because its so much more money and better or par can be had for less. I.E. the 4 rotors and new pads all the way around on my RX-8 woulda been 900+ for just the OEM parts $200 per front rotor at northtown mazda 😕

I got my Brembo rotors from Innovative. Really good price, and I couldn’t be happier with them.

the MR2’s brakes r0x0r as it is
its like 70 bucks for front rotors and pads man…a bit shy of your estimate…
and yea, if you have 93+ brakes already, your just hopeless…

Onyx, I would never get inexpensive stuff for a car like that. Chances are , they have been sitting on the shelf for many many years. The metal in the “cheap” rotors tends to “sag” as it sits on the shelf. If it were a more common car they get great results because the product just plain moves better and has a much shorter “factory release” to “install time”. You would be suprised how much of a difference a little nickle content can make on prventing that. Better rotors always have higher nickle content and resist noise and warp a lot less.
I was looking into the brakes for the MR2’s and the 94 seems to be in a league of its own. The rear axle brake stuff gets a little expensive. Any other MR2 and the premium stuff is dirt cheap.

You know you can always bring those rotors back and get a brand new set, no questions asked

Really? You probably told me that and I forgot. But will they crap out just as fast as the ones I have… ?

If Jay let’s you, I would trade in…You could probably get credit for the bad set and upgrade to the better set.
I ran shitty rotors on my car for \> two years. I did a lot of brake boosting, track time, and of course some very spirited driving on these bad boys with no warping at all, changed them and they warped in a week. Sometimes you just get a bad rotor. I upgraded just for peace of mind.

If you want try TriNet Motorsports online. They are also on EBAY. I got 4 rotors for my beast shipped for 130. SilverGTP got 4 rotors, slotted, drilled, plated and pads all around for under 300.
Its worth a try. Def get the plating though, or they will rust the next day.
