Just wondering, may do a full big brake swap in the future.

Before you do that, read this:

there might be a need, but knowing that the F-body's front end weight bias is only slightly changed by even a few weight saving modifications, you should watch to make sure that your vehicle actually needs a larger rear brake system before spending the money on them. By experience, not having a properly proportioned brake system is dangerous and possibly deadly.

I dont think the measurements on the CR rear rotor are the same as the f-body.
