Upgrades to Rear brakes

MPower7 · 02-07-2023, 06:43 PM

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking at upgrade options for my rear brakes, need new rotors. In the front I have the PFC kit which is amazing! From what I understand they no longer make a rear bbk kit from PFC nor do they sell just rotors for the rear with stock calipers.

I'm leaning towards just replacing the rear rotors with oe, vne, Zimmerman, etc. Unless there's a much more compelling option that can increase the performance in the rear. Are there any companies that make a high performance rear rotor that performs better than the OEM one for track purposes? Or would I have to mix and match bbks?

If you wanted to keep the stock rear caliper setup but run a 2 piece slotted rotor, paragon makes one in stock sizes

I've been eyeing these since I have front paragon rotors with my AP Racing BBK.

ive considered it also but they are backordered. but im pretty sure i can source them directly from the factory

Turner sells the a rear 2 piece slotted rotor for stock calipers, however it doesn't look like the the rotor ring is sold separately so you would have to buy new rotors everytime. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-turner-m...25518tms02akt/

those are PL by ECS tuning, from the same supplier paragon gets it from.. you can catch my drift here.

I have literally been on the same set of AP rotors on the rears that I bought when I originally got the competition brake kit from Essex 90+ track days old.

you aren't going to notice a giant leap in performance, even when going from a oem setup to a bbk in the rear. the biggest difference is going to be from proper race pads in the rear.
i upgraded to complete my set, reduce weight, and easier pad changes. the increased braking performance was just about negligible.
