I currently have the Baer Decela slotted and cross drilled rotor oe upgrade right now.

I'm looking for an upgrade for the rear with the similar look.

I know the front does 80% of the braking.

Does anyone know a brand that carries at something similar for the rear or should I just be gay and get a OE rotor.

Don't have the cash right now for a big brake upgrade and I do not run my wheels all year long since Minnesota winters suck.

Any suggestions

i have never heard of Baer Decela Rotors. do you have a picture by chance? i would like to see what they look like.

Wilwood has some nice setups. i would definately look into them.

www.summitracing.com has very affordable slotted cross driller rotors. I believe 75 for the rear pair

if you have aftermarket rotors now and you want an upgrade, but you do not want a big brake setup... then what exactly are you looking for? i see that you want something "similar", but i guess i am confused.

i say save up until you can get a big brake kit.

those are good rotors, i've got them but without the semi-drilled bits
because they use an angle chamfer there are no stress points for heat fractures.
you could look into getting a bigger OE caliper for the rear, I know the type s uses the same rear caliper and rotor but the TL or TSX might have something you could rig up.

Thats a 5 lug rotor. I already called tire rack on my 02 4 lug and they don't have anything other than for the front in which I don't need.
Maybe I need to upgrade to a 5 lug now

The front rotors I have now with slotted and drilled stop great with the hawk hps pads. They are much better than stock but not a big brake upgrade. I was looking for a similar setup for the rear since I purchased the rear from Baer again and their stock number for the 02 ep doesn't fit mine so they are looking into this issue. Big brakes will come later
