I too bought a set of drilled rotors from these guys last year.  They are
still working great!  This company is great to deal with and may be a vendor
at Miata 96'.  They also have stainless brake lines for less than U.S.
prices...you guys in the states will save a bundle!  The name of the company
is Best Price Automotive Warehouse, 1537 Startop Rd., Ottawa, Canada  K1B
3W5.  Phone # 1-800-636-0854
                          Fax 613-746-2479

They also have Brembo stuff and metal master pads.  You can have the rotors
cad plated too if you want.  Hope this helps!
