Big Rotor for The Rear

Does any one knows if there is a way to install big rotors in the rear to match the front

Why? The front of your car does 80% of the braking, so there is no need to go to a big rotor in the rear. If anything, you'll create an incorrect brake bias where the rear is braking more than it should. Only upgrade rears if you already have big fronts, and even then be conservative.

check with Todd at TCE.. i recall he had a Wilwood 2 piston BBK for the rear awhile ago that also keeps the handbrake

as above have said... it throws your brake balance off unless you got like 13' BIG brakes in the front
