do you think that it would make a noticable difference since they are rears?

Go with oemacuraparts.com for the oem and tirerack for others.

Just on a side note, I just installed rotors and pads all around. I ordered the Hawk HPS pads, the rear ones needed to have a knob filed down on the pad. I remembered reading about that somewhere on here, but totally forgot until I tried to install them. (I'd post a pic, but I am at work)

Apart from that, I think that any good brake pad will do the trick, just check to see that the rotor is in good shape. I had 90k on mine before replacing the pads and rotors ... the rotors looked great and would have only needed to be turned, but I replaced them anyways.

Oh, and replacing the brake fluid would also be a good idea! ;-)

I got PowerSlots all over + GranSport GS6 Carbon Ceramic pads and I'm very satisfied. This set gives you a lot better stopping power then the stock one. Also change your brake fluid if you didn't in last 2 yrs.

I run kragen rear rotors (china made) and they work fine- only 30% of the braking is from the rears

also have RB front slotted rotors and ET300 pads all around
