Default Rear brakes question: what works well if you already have 05 RL caliper front?

Hi all, I just wanted to know if anyone changed out the rear brakes to something that works with RL caliper front. Our rear rotors are the cause of overheat in the track and I wanted to avoid that, please let me know what you're running for the rear so I can start gathering the parts as the front brakes are about to be done by next week. Thanks.

Look up custom air duct threads on this forum for ideas on what many of us have done, or Urge designs upgraded rotors as an alternative option. Considering what you did with the front, you probably would be more interested in the ducting option.

+1 for Urge rear rotors. I have Stoptech Trophy Kits up front and the Urge rears. Running Winmax W6 all around.
Temps came down about 100-150F after a full session, 1/2 cooldown lap, and little cooling in the paddocks. Pads are lasting ALOT longer. Worth it for the price.
