Moving front brakes to rear -- which rotor?

Having installed a Brembo big brake kit (350mm) on the front, I'm thinking of moving my front brakes to the rear.

It it appears to be a simple bolt on for the caliper, but which rotor retains the ebrake drum?

I'm thinking the 996 GT3 rear rotor, which I believe is the same size as a CS front, would work. But, I recall seeing somewhere that there may be a problem with the hub dimensions. Can anyone help me out with this?

Thanks, Andy

Maybe you could just go with the GiroDisc rears. They are made to fit... july 29th - Pacific Raceways. Hope to see you there.

Girodisc rear rotors retain the parking brake function. They are a direct bolt on application. The rear kit increases in size of the rotors from 298mm to a 325mm.
