Do you mean cross-drilling them? Or actually replacing the rotors with ones like on the front?
I think it would seriously upset brake balance. Not to mention it would take some serious engineering to get the cailpers to work, or to replace out the rear calipers.
I'd be careful drilling the rotors, too - unless it is done very carefully microfractures will occur. That would be bad.

Anyone ever considering changing the rear rotors to match the front cross-drilled ones?

JamE55 - How do you think these compare to Brembos?
jswedberg - Naw man, i'll replace everything rotors and matching calipers (not AMG tho cuz I don't think they make them). These are your brakes, you don't want to go cheap on them (well, you don't want to go cheap on anything either).

replacing the rotors wouldnt upset the brake balance at all. it would keep the rotors cooler and look better no doubt! I saw a Cl the other day with Brembo brakes on it with high gloss black calipers. It looked SOOO good.

Not really sure about these but i've been talking to some people at Brembo and this stuff is top notch! If you really love your car get these and you won't be sorry!

The C32 brake calipers are made by Brembo, and are very good for stock brakes. However, they do not compare to the 13.1" or 14" kits offered by Brembo. These kits use an entirely different caliper, about twice the size (length and width), originally designed for the Ferrari F50. Trust me, once you go with a Brembo Big Brake Kit, nothing else is the same.
