EBC rotors for front

Maybe I'm missing something, but I cannot find EBC rotors for the front of my car -- everybody seems to sell the back rotors only. Has anybody had any luck finding those, or do the rear discs also fit the front?

thanks!

Isn't it the same disk front and rear?

They are the same rotor on all four corners. Here is the EBC vehicle application spreadsheet. You can get all of the parts numbers for the Elise/Exige. You do need Microsoft Excel though.

I suspected that this was the case. Thanks for confirming it

nice find!

so the EBC rotor part # is GD1190 for the sport rotor. it is dimpled and slotted, one piece design, but at $240 for a pair, certainly a viable alternative.

My Yellow Stuff pads showed up on Friday. I will be putting them one this week before I load the car up and haul it to LOG so I won't have much time to test them. The autocross and track day at LOG will be the first big test. I'm staying with the same rotors, just going to clean the surface up with some fine sandpaper before installing the new pads. The EBC pads supposedly have a compound on the outer surface that is supposed to clean off the rotors when you put in new pads, but since I was running factory pads previously I want to make sure all of the previous pad material is removed.

One of these days I might get around to painting the calipers yellow and the lettering black.
