I drive a 99 base lude and was wondering if I could put the same rotors in the front on the back. Cause the back rotors are smaller. I think I can get the hook upo on some rotors but only on the fronts thats why I was wondering if I just buy 4 front could I put them on the back as well. Thanks

 

i don't think so

 

Anyone know for sure?

 

wouldnt you need new calipers and pads if it was possible?

 

You could do it. But you will need new calipers, pads, rotors, and caliper bracket. I believe the caliper bracket mounting holes are spaced the same front&rear.

But when you do this, you will loose your parking brake. But you knew that already, right?

That's a definite NO the front rotors are a bigger diameter than rear also the front are double walled with a ventilaton cavity in the middle, so are a lot thicker as well. The stock rear caliper will not accept the diameter or the thickness, you will have to get a pair of rotors specifically for the rear.

 

I've noticed a lot of 'Ludes just go with slotted for the rear. Looks cool. Is there any other reason for going just slots back there?
