Rear Rotors and Brake Pads

[Jose Santana]

Ok I did some searching and have not gotten a very conclusive answer. i need some rear brake rotors and pads and would like to know if anyone knows where to get a decent pair? Also are they totally different than the front? What should I look for?

Totally different from the front, nothing will interchange front to back.



I would suggest e-mailing Todd as I know he has specific information on rotors and ceramic pads.

joseymack,

Absolutely different. The rear rotors also contain a small brake drum system for the emergency/parking brake. If you are planning on replacing the rear rotors and brake pads, you may as well replace the emgency brake shoes as well. However, if your rear rotors are not gouged, glazed or warped, it's probably not worth the trouble and expense to replace them since 70% or your braking is done by the front disks.
