I just ordered a set of brand new 13B REW rotors from www.rx7engine.com in Calgary. If anyone has looked up the prices on these things new in the U.S. lately, they're about $700 each. I secured TWO for $972. Brand spanking new. Just thougth I'd share. If you are in the U.S., they prefer that an international money order/cashier's check be sent due to the currency fluctuation and problems using credit cards. That was the only PITA for me. Otherwise they apparently have 170 in stock! Hope this helps someone out. I was going to use cermet coated rotors from www.jhbperformance.com but delivery would have been at least two weeks on those. I'll use em for my "next" engine project!

Seems there is a shortage of used ones also. The website doesn't seem to work yet. Would you have any other contact info.

mazdacomp has em for 480each, so 972 is a good deal.

You sure they are not Cosmo engines?

Some importers have mixed them up...
