PowerStop JBR967XPR Disc Brake Rotor Set - Front

Front Brake Rotor Upgrade for Mazda RX-8

PowerStop JBR967XPR is a front drilled and slotted brake rotor set built for direct OE-style fitment on the 2004-2008 Mazda RX-8 with normal suspension. The vented rotor design, cross-drilled surface, and rounded slots work together to improve cooling and maintain a cleaner friction surface under demanding braking.

Silver zinc dichromate plating adds rust and corrosion resistance, making this a practical upgrade for drivers who want stronger brake performance and better long-term rotor appearance. Power Stop JBR967XPR is a bolt-on replacement for the front axle with no special modifications required.

Product Details

Power Stop’s drilled and slotted rotor line focuses on cooling, surface cleaning, and corrosion resistance for street-driven performance braking. On the Mazda RX-8 front axle, JBR967XPR uses precision cross-drilling to help manage heat during repeated stops, while the slotted face supports consistent pad contact by sweeping away debris and moisture. The vented design supports airflow through the rotor, and the zinc-plated finish helps protect the rotor from rust in everyday use.

This part cross-references Centric Parts 120.45070 for the same application. The PowerStop JBR967XPR is also listed with interchange references including Raybestos Brakes 980292.

Common Problems This Rotor Can Address

• Brake fade during repeated or high-load stops
• Excess heat buildup in front braking use
• Surface rust on exposed rotor faces
• Dust, gas, or moisture buildup between pad and rotor
• Uneven braking feel from worn front rotors

Installation Notes

Compatible With 2004-2008 Mazda RX-8 front brake applications with normal suspension. Verify rotor dimensions, hub fit, and brake pad condition before installation. Clean the rotor surface before use and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake service procedures for bedding-in new rotors and pads.

Quality Assurance

Power Stop manufactures this rotor as a direct-fit replacement with OE-style dimensions and corrosion-resistant plating for consistent service life in normal road use.
