since you have bigger brake on the front already
if you want to upgrade the rear with oem size
you can just get brembo cross drilled ones

rlee(nice ride man),I'm getting pretty close to replacing my brake pads and rotors(need to),so my question is,can I have my mechanic replace mine with the C32 brake system(rotors,calipers and pads).Also are the C32 brakes better or worse then say the brembo big brake systems.
any advice would be appreciated,
