I'm looking to reduce some unsprung weight and my OE rotors are looking a little worn (at least that's what I tell my wife). I wanted to go with the 2PC Brembos, but I'm having trouble finding the matching rears. Anyone know if they are available anywhere? Can't get a clear answer from FCP Euro Brembo
If the Brembo's are not available for the rears, any similar options that won't break the bank?

So here's the thing with matching front and rear rotors. The front calipers are fixed calipers, so pairing them with 2PC full-floating rotors like the Brembos is the way to go, however, the rear calipers are already floating, so a full-floating rotor doesn't make sense. With a proper setup you inevitably end up with a different style rotor in the rear. They are already different from the factory for the C63S. The fronts are composite rotors, while the rears are single piece. Platz1 Motorosport offers a matching set, but it looks like their rears are full-floating which doesn't make sense with a floating caliper. I just checked Paragonbrakes, and they do it right. The rear is a 2PC floating rotor, but not full-floating whereas their front is full-floating. Racing Brake is another one, but a) they are expensive and b) it's not clear to me if they are floating or full-floating. I have the Brembos from FCP Euro in the front, and OE rotors in the rear. Once my rear rotors need replacement I'll probably get the rear kit from FCP Euro. They are the same rotors as OE, but cheaper. BTW, the Brembos are OE rotors as well. They are found on the C63 BS and GT R with standard brakes for example. They are excellent!
