Hi, I have the chance to get a set of cross drilled rotors for a 89 to 93 miata, for about 25 bucks, i was wondering if they would fit! and i need to know ASAP!

thanks!

Bolt pattern would be the same... but might wanna check the thickness and diameter of the rotor... also as well as the width of the pad surface.

Hit up a rotor site like Brembo or someone and cross reference the part numbers for a Miata and a MX3... if they're not the same then most likely they're not the same.

Well yes they are a different part# and they are not 100% the same, however they will fit the Mx-3.

There really is no big difference. The diameter is just a hair larger than an Mx-3 rotor. The rear rotors from a Miata will work on the rear of the Mx-3 as well.

I use them b/c they are alot cheaper than MX-3 rotors. All four work just fine.

PS, on the cross drilled and slotted, they are going to brake less (not by much though), but look cool. They also have a tendency to break so don't get them unless you get a high quality manufacturer like Brembo and make sure the cross drilled portion is chamfered (looks like a counter sink dimple on a drilled hole- if you know what that looks like).
