brake question

Does anybody know if the mazda miata brake rotors and pads will work with the 1986 n/a rx7 just wondering because parts for it are next to impossible to find without paying an arm and a leg for it.

There's a seller named "genuinemazdaparts" that was selling OEM brake pad sets for good prices.

I'm not familiar with the 4-lug suspension, but the Miata uses a one piece rotor/hub assembly that I don't think would work.

The Miata also uses a 4 x 100 bolt circle.
The 4-lug FC uses a 4 x 114.3 bolt circle.
Even if it does fit, you can't use your stock wheels anymore.

I can't believe I didn't think to mention Advance Auto Parts:

http://www.partsamerica.com/Brakes.aspx

This link is for the turbo, but you can put in your car's info and find similar results.
