Default Rotor Quest

I want to buy a set of new Bear Eradispeeds... I have seen some pics but never front and backs... are they different from each other? I thought that the aftermarket rotors were the same size all around but I see that some have smaller rears like stock... Is there any way to put larger rotors on the back..(Front Size) ... I likes the Eradispeeds and want to put 4 rotors that are all the same size on the car...

Thank for any info..

Vettelover- heres a link to a thread, pics are available about half way down the thread. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=193328
Front Eradispeeds are a two pice design with aluminum hats. The rears are a one piece design. Baer has plans to produce a two piece rear, but the size of the rotor will not be bigger.

I have not seen a kit to date that offers same size rotors at all for corners.

The front and rear rotors are of a different size and design. The fronts are two piece with an anodized hat. The rear are single piece due to the parking brake arrangement inside the rotor hat, and are smaller in size. Baer supposedly is bringing out a two piece rear arrangement in the future - date unknown. To change rotor size in the rear would throw brake balance out of wack and require changes to the proportioning valve and spring in the master cylinder. A vendor in the mall provides a special master cylinder spring that directs more of the force to the rear brakes, supposedly good for racing applications but probably unnecessary on the street.
