Not many have changed the rear brakes on the LNF. There are no bolt on brembo replacements so serious custom work would take place to make a set fit back there. Also, changing just the rear brakes without upgrading the front with a matching set will throw off the OEM braking balance.

2nd nobody2u. I wouldn't want to throw off the bias. I started using Raybestos (I think) rotors and I got $20 pads at O'Reilly in kind of a bind. I didn't put pad lube on the pad backs (don't ask), but I did all the slides. When the rotors have some oxidation, I get noise from the rears, but it goes away after 2-3 good slow-downs I've checked for grooves on the inside of the rotors a few times and nothing. It's smooth and flat, and they work well with stock fronts. Used them 1 day on a track with CarboTech XP10s up front and they held up well.
