First off, im dumb and didnt even know that our rear brakes were drum style and pad put together. what a pain in my rear.
Never ever ever go 95 thousand miles on rear rotors and never touch them. its been a nightmare. Not only was everything rusted but there was salt everywhere. It took me an hour just to get the tire off and then another 4 to get the rotor off. Im still not finished with the one side, i need to clean a lot more but its a definate wonderful progress that looks flippin sweet.

Yeah, I've yet to change my rear rotors and I'm not looking forward to it. I know they'll be seized on there. A torch should do the trick, though.

oyea otter the rears go alot faster then the front all you have to do is take out the 14mm bolt at the bottom of the caliper and rotate it. the braket doesnt get in the way like in the front, thats all you have to do.+ a bit of hammer lol just make sure you have the ebrake off.

i just thought that it was disk brakes in the rear too, and didnt have an internal drum set up. i spent all day thinking that a spring and clip was holding the rotor on when it was just seazed up to hell...

ya know when you get around to doing this it might not be a bad thing to shave a bit off the hub were the inners meet with the rotors they were pretty rusted on my and alomost got in the way of the new rotor.

see mine are the other way b/c i dont see a rotation cut on them, so i dont think it matter with these.

i was gonna replace my pads and rotors all around this weekend with the same setup but when i took my old pads off they were barely broken in, i guess ill wait another 30k before i can put mine on. the new brakes look good.

r 1 concepts had the ebay site but i used there actual website to purchase from them
thanks guys. my ebrake is much stiffer, not because of the slots but because they old rotors were so shot. but i do notice about a 15 percent increase in stopping power, but only if i slam on the brakes. i still have wheel shakage unfortuntely but its about 30 percent less. so i basically needed brakes all around
