Default rotor sizes?

What is the rotor size for the rears. I'm looking to replace my rotors with the ECS OEM drilled/slotted pair. They only offer these for the front. I want the back to match, and was wondering if they were the same size. If they are I can just put the ones they offer for the front on the rear. Anyone know???

I don't think the rotors on the back are the same size as the front. without looking i think the ones on the front are a lot bigger than rear.

Theres really no reason to get drilled or slotted rotors for the rear.. The rear brakes are only responsible for something like 30-40% of your braking power.. The fronts are the ones that take "the heat" the most. I thought that ecs did sell rear slotted or drilled rotors though.

They only have slotted for the rears not drilled, well in the price range I'm looking. I know you don't need them for the rear but I would like them to match, it looks nicer.

Yeah it would deffinately look better that way. Id be really surprised if you couldnt find any from the "audi links" link.

A4 stufff had some rear and fronts. They don't look bad, just curious about the quality.

Why do you even want drilled and slotted? with slotted youre just going to go through pads faster. drilled is all you need. am i right?

ive been emailing ECS and im getting the OEM big brake kit drilled/slotted for the front, they dont have the rears on the website but there are two different sixes either 245mm or 255 mm you have to measure and they come drilled/slotted, just drop them a line
