The problem jaws, is that it's the not fact of replacing them, it's that with this kit, the fronts are so huge and nice, that you want something a little bigger in the back to compliment each other...
yes I could've gone with REAR KVR rotors, for about 70 bux each, but they are still stock rotor size...

I completely understand you, Yuri. The rear rotors look so small compared to the fronts. smile.gif
But, IMHO, $700 is waayy too much for just bigger rotors. AEM makes this kind of setups for Honda/Acura and other makes and they go for only $400.

Yuri, I don't really want to argue with you but I just need to mention this. Well, we got the front ones for $1k and not that many people ordered (about 5, maximum 10). And $1k is a reasonable price. Honda boys pay about the same or even more for a similar setup. That's why I expected the price to be about the same as Honda stuff.
On the other hand, I completely understand that Hyundai market is not as big as Honda's and therefore vendors charge us higher markups.

Guy's check out http://www.winnerpower.com/products.html
They do a 292mm + 310mm conversion for the front for the 1st gen tiburon.
Not sure about rear.
I got this info from their UK distributor.

I got the fronts from Precision and I'm very happy with what I got so far.
When is the group buy going down?
I might be in for this one. The severe front to rear brake bias is getting to me.
Yuri, can you ask them if I can order front rotors as well at the 10% discounted price? I was thinking about 2 piece rotors for the front along with the kit for the rear. smile.gif
btw...anything in terms of upgrades like a beter master cylinder?

Hmm, I was wondering whether a deal could be done if both the front and rear setup is purchased?
I was originally thinking of just getting the rears done, but the front from Precision would be so much better than my current set up of slotted rotors that I would like to buy both together.
