Default Are there 2-Piece REAR Rotors for '99 Firebird?

Are there any manufacturers of lightweight 2-piece rear rotors for my 1999 Firehawk?

Thanks,
John

The issue is with the drum e-brake. Rotors has to be able to accommodate that. That's why you don't see 2 piece rotors

That is odd. Hiossilver has front and back. I didn't do the backs

Are you doing this for appearance (trying to match front and back)?

I want the lightweight rotors to try to reduce the unsprung weight. My Strange 12-Bolt rear tends to jump around a lot on bumpy roads.

Rotors can't fix crappy shocks.

I have good shocks, springs, tires, wheels, control arms, endlinks, LSD, and a custom license plate. My rear end tends to jump around on bumpy roads too!

Baer only lists FRONT EradiSpeed's for the '98-'02's on their website:
