Is It Worth Spending Money On Good Rear Rotors.

[Andyn]

I know most of the braking is done with the front rotors so I will definately invest in some decent slotted rotors coupled with decent brake pads.

However how about the rears? I am on a budget and was looking to get some plain rotors for the rear (just jap ones for $100 each), as i thought they don't do too much, but will use decent brake pads to go with it.

My r32 gtst is mainly for daily drive and the occasional track day/mountain cruise now and then.

What do you guys reckon? Would it be greatly noticable if i get decent rear rotors too?

This is a good question.

I have thought this my self, and think that for street use, the ideal combo would be upgraded rotors and pads, maybe calipers on the front, and better pads on the back. You are right about the front doing most the braking, due to weight transfer. So, I guess the obvious thing is upgrade the front before you do the back. More braking in the front is going to help more than more breaking in the rear!
