brake rotor source?

[tarmac and beer]

blast! nopi.com advertises cheap brembo rotors for the mp3 but they are not in stock :(

so, where do you guys order new front brake rotors? i don't want cross drilled or slotted, just a quality solid face rotor.

Napa. Ask for 97 Probe GT rotors. I got mine for about $25 each.

[GHOSTWHISPER]

no shit?

no shit?

Nope.

[GHOSTWHISPER]

so i need rear rotors, for my p5 , the 97 gt are the same? All this time i guess i didnt do any research.

[njaremka]

Only Probe GT rotors. Not the lower models. And they don't cross to the Mazdaspeed, since they have bigger rotors.

I got mine from consumer auto parts for 18.99/each. Have been on for almost a year and are still looking good......

Any front rotor made for the third generation protege will fit the PR5......

626 rotor will fit the MSP. i would assume it will fit the MP3

[tarmac and beer]

neither of the website's actually list probe 'gt.' they do let you choose the '2.5 L 153 CID V6 DOHC' model (versus the 4 cylinder model) which i assume is the gt, or has the same size front rotors.

njaremka, are you sure about this?

The 2.5 V6 was only in the GT. I running on my second set of Probe rotors, so yeah, I'm sure.

Tarmac and Beer has an MP3. As far as I know the MP3 and MSP share rotors and not the MP3 and ES.

1999+ 626 rotors will fit. They are significantly cheaper than Mazdaspeed replacement rotors and supposedly have multidirectional cooling vanes.

The MP3 and the ES and the Protege5 all have the same brakes. The Mazdaspeed Protege has Euro spec brakes, which are a little bigger than the others.

i stand corrected

i ended up buying the brembo rotors here for $40.33/each (+ free shipping). their only car identifier in ordering rotors is the '2.0L protege with 4-wheel disc brakes' which i'm hoping only covers the 'es' and 'mp3' models. we'll see how well these things fit.

[AznXstazy]

can u order the ford probe gt rotors drilled? or does it only come as stock gt rotors? n they fit with the the mp3 right? just need to make sure before i order some i wanted cross drilled ones to make it look nice-_- thanks

[Mad Hatter]

Do the probe GT rotors work on the rear as well??

heres the link to the p5 rears... (http://pa.partsandaccessories.com/parts/partsandaccessories/quote.jsp?year=2002&product=N1000-126516&application=000566329&part=Brake%20Disc&category=N)

Btw, I'm not sure if those are Brembo rotors. and if they are, their just the stock replacement ones. NOT cross drilled, NOT slotted. Just stock.

[tarmac and beer]

i did receive the rotors from that partsandaccessories.com site. their service was quick and easy, however, the rotors did not come in brembo boxes nor were the rotors stamped as such. therefore, i don't really know if got brembos, but the rotors did fit perfectly and were the oem size.

the moral of the story? i'd probably just buy probe gt rotors from autozone or napa next time.
