What is the difference between drilled and slotted rotors?

Drilled rotors have holes that help release heat and moisture, which can improve cooling. Slotted rotors have grooves that sweep away brake dust and gas, helping to maintain consistent contact between the pad and rotor surface.

Do I need to buy two rotors for the front?

Yes, this part number is for a single front right rotor. For proper braking balance and performance, you should always replace brake rotors in pairs per axle. You will need to order a second rotor for the front left side.

Does this rotor come with any hardware?

This listing is for the brake rotor only. Installation hardware, such as lug nuts or brake pads, is typically sold separately.

About this part

Product Details

What you get here is a single R1 Concepts front right brake rotor, specifically made for your 2004-2011 Mazda RX-8. This rotor has a black finish and features both drilled holes and slotted grooves. The drilled holes help dissipate heat and moisture, while the slots help clear away brake dust and gas. Together, these features help your brakes perform more consistently, especially during harder braking situations.

This rotor is built to be a direct replacement for your stock unit, meaning it should fit right onto your existing setup without needing modifications. The combination of drilling and slotting is a popular choice for drivers looking for a bit more performance out of their braking system compared to a plain, solid rotor. It's a well-built part that addresses common braking concerns like heat buildup and fade.
