Use 99 and up 626 V-6 model rotors for the front. I can verify this because they have been on my car for 7000 mi now and they work great. plus they only cost me 30 dollars a rotor.
Well I'm looking at other rotors, because brembo doesn't have stock replacment rotors for 99+ 626, but they have for the 929 and millenia and mpv that I think are similar size to msp. Look in the other thread to see what I'm talking about

I just put the 99 V6 626 rotors on MSP, they look just barely big enough for the area of the brake pads.
21.99 at napa. if it doesnt end up working well then its not much money lost.

I did, they've got appx 300 miles on them. also, read another member who said he had them on for 7000 miles.
I'll see how good they really are when i take em to the race track in march.
If anyone cares, you can get 99+ V6 front rotors for $12 to $17 a piece, depending on the brand, from www.rockauto.com
I ordered Carbotech pads today and Matt mentioned that he can also get reasonably priced rotors for the MSP. Fronts and Rears.

See picture.
I just did the same thing ($ 43.98 for front pair, from NAPA). Part Number is: 86790. Made in USA. Takes about 5-10 minutes per side. Much better, no pulsating and I did it myself!! (I drive hard: stockers were warped and I am not even at 20K miles!). I hope this helps people out there. Do it yourself!!

I remember reading somewhere, too that the 99 626 V6 rotors are directionally vented, too which might give a cooling advantage over the stock ones... not sure if it's true though.
I can't possibly believe Mazda would do that on a grocery-getter family car.
According to my books, the MSP has the same front rotor as the 98-02 626 V6, and the 92-95 929, and they are not directionally vented. You guys seem to share the rear rotor with the 03 Mazda 6.

That's what I thought. I think I remember seeing that at the corksport website. I'd look it up but I'll be too tempted to buy something.
