Rear rotors same as front???

Rear rotors same as front???

Postby LuckyVal3 » Wed Feb 25, 2004 12:50 pm

I want to buy cross drilled rotors and i've been checking them on e-bay - everyone only has listings for front rotors for our cars - to cover the back rotors can we buy two front pair or are they a different size altogether? also any suggestions? i'm looking for basically anything affordable that won't rust - thanks

i believe brembo has rear cross-drilled rotors.

why do you think you need the rear cross-drilled rotors anyway?

yeah... its only uniform to have matching front and rear, but i'd just like to ask folks out there why bother, since 90% of the braking is done in the front anyway.

the only reason i want them is for the look - i got to put some kind of different rotor on when i put my rims on cuz the stocks are terrible looking - any cheaper suggestion? - what about to stop rusting??? - i just want something that wont rust under my 19's - it can't look cheap though

front and rear brake rotors are completely different, not just in overall size. rear rotors have a small drum style brake inside (near the hub) which is your parking brake.
